Cristiano Ronaldo Has Signed A Contract With Real Madrid

Reports in the Spanish press today suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo has already signed a pre-contract agreement with Real Madrid, and that if he doesn't join this summer, he will have to pay the Spanish club €20 million...




Cristiano Ronaldo will have to pay Real Madrid €20 million if he does not join them next summer according to Sport.

The Spanish site reports that the agent for the Portuguese winger, Jorge Mendes, signed a pre-contract agreement with former Real Madrid president, Ramon Calderon, whilst he was still in office.

This deal is apparently worth €100m, and if Ronaldo does not join, then Sport reports that he will have to pay €20m, as he has broken the agreement.

It seemed as though Ronaldo was going to join Madrid last summer, and even though he did stay at Manchester United, the rumours continue about a potential move for the Portuguese superstar.

Calderon himself was at the centre of the chaos at the time and, if this is true, he must be frustrated that he will not be in office next summer to see the player finally arrive.

For Ronaldo, this deal could well mean that he will have to try and convince Sir Alex Ferguson to sell him, else he will end up losing a substantial sum of money, which even such a well-paid played is likely to miss.

The winger has been recognised as the best player in the world, winning the Ballon d’Or, however, it is thought that he wants a new challenge after winning just about everything possible with United.

The English club would be incredibly reluctant to let go of him, and one saving grace for them could be the fact that Calderon has gone.

If Florentino Perez wins the presidential elections, as is predicted at the moment, it is highly unlikely that he will want this deal to go through, not because he does not want Ronaldo, but because he will want to start a fresh.

Perez will not want to cash in on a deal made by Calderon, and for that reason, Manchester United could be saved, although for how long is anybody's guess.
