reads “Ribery Makes Cristiano Ronaldo Nervous”. Without
reading the article – as it’s not available on their site as yet - &
thinking about it, if I was Cristiano Ronaldo I would be very uneasy
as well. Let’s recap the history & how things are going with this
drawn-out saga.
The month’s long media stories are that CRISTIANO RONALDO signed
a pre-contract with REAL MADRID for next season after the
Portuguese player received the promise from his Coach Ferguson to
stay one more season at MANCHESTER UNITED. The transfer fee was
placed around 100M€ & it was signed when ex- Real Madrid President
Ramon Calderon still held the “wheel” at the Spanish Club.
Today at Real Madrid, Calderon is gone, there will be Presidential
elections next month & ex-President/Candidate Florentino Perez
will win via a landslide result. His team of Directives include Jorge
Valdano & Zinedine Zidane, the latter along with Valdano
recommending BAYERN MUNICH winger FRANCK RIBERY. So much so,
that talks have advanced at such a pace that Ribery is willing to
sign with Real Madrid & what’s left now is to come to an agreement
with the German Club. Bayern asks for 50M€ while Florentino wishes
only to pay around 40M€, everyone expects that positions will meet
satisfactorily half way soon.
Up to here everything is understood. The eye opener is that
Franck Ribery plays in the same position as Cristiano Ronaldo &
costs way less. Florentino Perez is not in agreement with the 100M€
price tag negotiated for Cristiano Ronaldo & desires to lower it
to around 70M€ or less, plus Perez does not like Ronaldo´s
“superstar” attitude thus doesn’t see the Manchester player as vital
for his new Real Madrid. It is speculated that AC MILAN star KAKA is
virtually shut for the midfield & that there is an agreement for
DAVID VILLA in the goal scoring area; NOW he has the OK from
Ribery for the winger position.
Real Madrid under Florentino Perez has NOW all the cards & the
negotiating powers to lower the Cristiano Ronaldo 100M€ transfer
fee. The player loses & Manchester United loses as the latter
needs money to finance its debts. With Franck Ribery as the
alternative for Ronaldo - & many consider the Frenchmen better
& more of a team player – the question is simple: lower your
economic pretensions & we will talk again, stay firm & you can
stay at Manchester United. It’s a grand tactic for Florentino
Perez, as Real Madrid, Mr. Perez, you & SFS know that it is
possible for Ronaldo & Ribery to play together in the same team
with each on a wing, but Perez wishes to see the determination
of Ronaldo to come to Real Madrid & he is right; Ronaldo has now
become an OPTION & is no longer VITAL.
This change in status is what would make me nervous. This should
make Cristiano Ronaldo very nervous if it is true that his dream is to
play at Real Madrid

I think next season is going to be very interesting for the Spanish League.
After so much rumor is it possible that Ronaldo will end up not going to Real? I don't know... My hunch is that Perez is putting this out there so he can lower that ridiculous 100m fee.
Agree!
I read elsewhere that Ronaldo might sign a new sponsorship deal with Nike. If so, that might also play a part in him not leaving Man Utd as Real Madrid has a deal with Adidas.
Sometimes I think these sponshorships deals do wield a lot of power as it was rumoured that the Brazilian Ronaldo was forced to play in the 1998 WC final despite being injured.
At the level of CR sponsorships are compatible, eg Figo
Best
Ribery, Kaka/Diego and a new defender = vital
