Just when you thought things couldn't get any more bizarre... Clicky Quote:
Real Madrid are reportedly set to demand £17m in compensation from Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese forward refused to demand a transfer from Manchester United.
Ronaldo's announcement last week that he would be remaining at Old Trafford heaped embarrassment on the Spanish giants and their president Ramon Calderon following their summer-long pursuit of the forward.
According to the News of the World, Madrid are adamant that 'they agreed personal terms with the Manchester United star at the start of the summer and insisted on the compensation clause if the transfer was not completed.
'Spanish media sources, who have become Madrid's unofficial mouthpiece during the Ronaldo negotiations, are reporting that Real president Ramon Calderon is determined to press ahead with the claim.
'Calderon might be prepared to waive compensation if he gets a guaranteed assurance from Ronaldo that he will join them next summer.'
However, that claim is contradicted by the Sunday Express which says that, such is Madrid's anger at being rebuffed, Ronaldo may never be allowed to fulfil his boyhood dream of moving to the Bernabeu.
| Thing is, if this is true, then Madrid are basically admitting to tapping him up, and United'll sue 'em straight back. |

That's pish, there's no way Ronaldo's agent/lawyers would have him sign something to such effect.

Most players state they're happy at a club then, stories from people "Close to the player" are leaked to the press admitting the player wants a transfer. That story is usually the agents work. Especially if the agent is Willie Mackay

The rumour about Middlesbrough being interested and having scouts watching him are a hell of a lot more likely, I'd imagine. | |

Cuellar Goes To Villa
DETAILS were finalised this evening with Aston Villa Football Club for the transfer of Carlos Cuellar, subject to him passing a medical tomorrow.
On Sunday morning the player and his representatives informed the Club it was their desire to invoke an exit clause for 10 million Euros and today an offer for that amount was received from Aston Villa. http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/p...363791,00.html
Shocking. | |
