Ronaldo: Money, money, money
Newspaper reports in England are claiming that Cristiano Ronaldo is to be offered a mega-money deal to stay at Old Trafford.
According to the News of the World tabloid, Manchester United will offer the Portuguese star a mind-boggling 200,000 pounds-a-week deal in an attempt to keep their prized asset out of Real Madrid's clutches come the end of this season.
The proposed deal would, according to the paper, see Ronaldo pocket a 160,000 pound weekly wage, a barrowful of cash that would be topped up by earnings from image rights and commercial activities.
If Ronaldo was to sign, the reigning World Player of the Year's income would make him the highest paid Premier League star, brushing aside other high rollers such as Chelsea's John Terry and Liverpool favourite Steven Gerrard.
Spanish giants Real came close to signing Ronaldo after EURO 2008 last summer only for the flying winger to have a change of heart and stay at Old Trafford.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes Ronaldo, whose new contract would keep him in Manchester until 2014, is key to his side's immediate success and has gone on record to say that there is no chance of Ronaldo leaving.
Having rejected Real once, Ronaldo looks set to do the same again having convinced himself that he has more chance of achieving his personal goals at United.
"Cristiano wants to clear his head of the Real Madrid move once and for all," the News of the World quoted a source close to Ronaldo as saying.
"When he agreed to stay at United last summer he thought it would be just for one more year
"But now he seems to be setting his mind on the long term because he realises he can fulfil all his ambitions at Old Trafford."
