When Ramon Calderon first became President of Madrid he promised a huge star would come to play for los merengues. So far the promise of a crack like Kaka, Cesc Fabregas, and Cristiano Ronaldo have been just that, a political promise. With this broken promise the President feels in debt with the fans, and has said that even though it is difficult to bring Ronaldo it is not impossible. As the heat of summer grows more intense so do those transfer rumors and Madrid is always at the center of it all. Madrid have their eyes on the prize and are willing to throw everything out the window to obtain it.
It would not be the first time Real spent an insane amount of money for the 'it' player of the moment. Figo, Beckham, and Zidane are just a few examples of Madrid's tendency to spend big. So it is no surprise that Madrid are willing to offer for Ronaldo 80 million euros surpassing Zidanes transfer fee. If this transfer were to happen it would definitely be the biggest bombshell in the market this summer.
However, this is not as easy as many Madridista's would like it to be. He recently renewed his contract with Manchester until 2012 and it is clear that Manchester is not an institution that sells players, especially not their star players, like Ronaldo. At the current moment Manchester is living through a great moment not only in the aspect of football, but economically as well. Despite Ronaldo's dissatisfaction with his contract it is certain that Manchester can please him. Its all about negotiation.
Yet, Ronaldo cannot help to flirt around with Madrid. With his comments that he would someday like to play in Spain, keep Madrid on their feet. Still, some wonder if this is just a tactic he is using to make Manchester give him what he wants or if this is a real interest that would lead to his departure. Whatever the reason is Madrid will surely be waiting for the moment when he ultimately does decide to join. In the end, contracts can be broken and it all rest in Ronaldo's hands where he will end up.
