PSG Set To Offer €125 million For Ronaldo

Ronaldo wants to carry on at Real Madrid, but first he wants to clear up a few matters concerning next season's team. PSG, and more importantly, Al Khelaifi's millions are knocking on his door. For now, the Portuguese isn't answering, as he is more interested in projects than money.

Ronaldo's allegiance to Real Madrid has some caveats. He wants to know more details regarding the club's sporting project and has said as much to Florentino Pérez. Once he has been provided with all the necessary information, he will make a decision.

The player's talk with the president was meant as a step forward in the forming of the team for next season, not as the first move to bump up his salary. The Portuguese ace has always had enough bargaining ammunition in his hands and could have knocked on Florentino's door more or less at any time these past years with various offer from other clubs.


Summer after summer, clubs have wanted to sound him out, especially PSG, who want to be more than just champions in their own league and to do so need to bring in players of CR7's calibre.

Al Khelaifi has been fighting with UEFA for two years, trying to buy in players despite the spending cap that has been imposed on him for having broken the FFP regulations laid down by Platini. The Qatari businessman is doing all he can to give his PSG a boost and has happily confirmed that he wouldn't think twice about forking out €125 million to have Ronaldo playing for him.

Florentino Pérez, meanwhile, naturally doesn't want Ronaldo to go. At the Bernabéu they believe that the Portuguese player still has two spectacular seasons left in him, but don't want to force him to stay. The only man that has been locked down is Bale.

Ronaldo knows that Real Madrid history and legend awaits him. He would love to break Raúl's record as the club's most prolific goalscorer, but first he wants to set the scene upon which to achieve it – one that at present does not exist.

Of course, PSG aren't the only club involved in this hypothetical free-for-all to win the player's services. There is a whole queue of clubs who would die to see him wearing their shirt. However, the French set-up is the only one that can cough up €300 million for him.

Manchester United offer the player pedigree and nostalgia, but Ronaldo remains largely unimpressed. In the next few days, he will clear up any doubts that he may have about his future. He believes in the Real Madrid cause, but wants the assurance that he will have the necessary team to make it all work for him.
