Manchester City set to break world record transfer fee by signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 from Real Madrid
With the 2011 summer transfer window about a week away, transfer talks are in the air once again. The 2010-11 season was one of the most intense and competitive football seasons Europe has experienced in a long time. Unprecedented drama took place around
the globe with clubs, managers and players, all breaking records or taking a hack at each other.
In its midst another surprising news has emerged from Eastlands. According to media reports, money loaded Manchester City is aiming to make a jaw dropping bid on the world’s coveted striker, Cristiano Ronaldo.
There have been speculations in the world of football that the Manchester City manager, Roberto Mancini, is mustering up his vast funds to make an outrageous offer to Real Madrid for the Portuguese international.
It’s not just Mancini who has a liking for the former Manchester United player. All managers in the world want to sign the brilliant forward, who has often proved himself as a one man army on the field.
Currently, Ronaldo is the world's most expensive player. Ronaldo was transferred as per his will from Old Trafford to Santiago Bernabeu for £80 million.
In order to ensure Ronaldo's stay with Real Madrid permanent, a $1 billion buy-out clause was added to the six-year contract he signed with the Spanish football giants.
In the advent of all this, any bid that Manchester City proposes can be labelled ostentatious. To make matters worse for the rich English outfit, Ronaldo is in his career's best form.
He has scored an amazing 53 goals for the Los Blancos this season. Ronaldo has also made a record for scoring the highest number of goals in a La Liga season, a staggering 40 goals.
All this means that if Mancini is serious about signing Ronaldo, he might as well dig as deep as he can into his pockets to sum up a super record-breaking transfer fee for Real Madrid and a dazzling wage structure for Ronaldo.
Though this might be a one sided story, Mancini's flame is fuelled by the recent disagreements Ronaldo has had with the Real Madrid board and his fellow Portuguese manager, Jose Mourinho.
Ronaldo has publically criticised his gaffer, especially after his side's Champions League semi-final defeat to archrivals, Barcelona.
These issues will certainly stir Ronaldo's mind into thinking of a move. He will be further encouraged by the fact that a move away from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 would mean bidding a Barcelona-dominated-football good bye.
