Manchester United will have to battle Paris Saint-Germain to recapture
Cristiano Ronaldo, as the French Ligue 1 leaders have contacted Real Madrid with a ‘substantial
offer’ for the former Old Trafford idol.
That has prompted United to speak with Ronaldo’s agent in a bid to see off a
potential move to the French capital and get the 28-year-old back.
United, who sold Ron to Real for £80million in 2009, are willing to offer
£65m plus a player; most likely Nani. If they get the green light from
Ronaldo’s people that the player wants a move.
But they have now been panicked by PSG’s move. A United source said: “United
are not happy now PSG have made their move with a substantial offer. The Qatari backed big spenders from France are understood to have offered Real
£80m
They would also top any wage offer by United who would make him joint top
earner at Old Trafford with Wayne Rooney on £250,000 a week.
His main sponsors Nike would also offer the player further incentives to move
back to United.
Ronaldo’s decision will not come down purely to cash. If he is going to leave, his preferred destination would be Old Trafford.
Ronaldo has refused to sign a new contract at the Bernabeu. He has two years
left on his current deal and said he would be willing to let it run and
leave Real for nothing.
That is why the Spanish giants could be ready to do business as his value will
decrease each year he stays.
