Florentino Perez: "Ronaldo is the real leader of this new project. He has two years of contract and is the best player in the world. I would not sell him for 1 billion euros."

Perez has a problem on his hands. His business model is based on having some players who bring in extra revenue. For it to work, he needs some of the world's most marketable players and he needs to hang onto their image rights. Casillas (and Alonso) are great in Spain. Kaka was a big deal once, but he costs the same as Ronaldo, and he isn't playing for Madrid or Brazil.
Failing to get Neymar matters in a footballing sense but also in a marketing sense - "He's a great footballer, but he's also Justin Bieber, whereas Bale is just a great footballer," as one of the press phrased it. Neymar is also a potential Ballon D'Or, Bale (for various reasons including Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo and Wales) is not.
So to the problem of Ronaldo. His contract hasn't changed and has two years to run. He gets 50% of the image rights on new contracts - and to all practical purposes has stopped signing new marketing contracts etc. For Perez to take the "easy" route to give him more money by signing over the rest of the image rights, is not easy at all.
Hence the dilemma. He's their best player. The fans after blowing hot and cold for the first few years, finally fell in love this season. The polls of the membership put "renew Ronaldo's contract" ahead of any other player related matter - including new signings. Perez finds himself being judged on his ability to resolve the "Cristiano situation" and Ronaldo isn't making it easy.
He's selling his home Ronaldo fanbois

Off to [insert any club other than United]? 
He's definitely coming back
Selling his house in Spain, According to "my sources" he is also stopping renting out his house in Manchester.....
It
Is
On.
It
Is
On.
He's stopped renting his house in Manchester? Is that true?
You have to believe me, my sources told me so.
But seriously, I remember someone saying a couple months back that he did, whether that is true or not is another matter.
:')
It's on!
It's on like donkey kong.
I never get excited about transfer rumours, I never even read any speculation about who is supposed to be coming but I'm going to let myself get excited over this one just so I can experience what the disappointment feels like when it fails to happen and maybe help me sympathise a bit more with the regular transfer muppets
Don't get your hopes up, It's obvious he's off to Spurs with his only true love, Wayne Rooney.
What is the video about? It's blocked in Germany.
Yeah, David Johnson said it on twitter and someone posted it on the caf.

Of course, from that point on he then became sure that Ronaldo would be going to Chelsea.
But towards the end of the season didnt he have a fall out with Mou? And didnt Mou leave without saying anything to Ramos, Casillas and Ronaldo? I think Im confident he wont be going to Chelsea.

So the reason his house is not for rent anymore is because he is selling it, not because hes moving back in

No wait, thats a year old .. maybe it is on!
The renewal Cristiano Ronaldo continues to stall
The Portuguese star has decided to end his contract in 2015 and then leave Real Madrid. He views the praise of Florentino Perez only as an electoral weapon.
The Cristiano renewal remains a thorn in the side of Florentino Perez. Although in the last days the President has heaped praise on the Portuguese star ("is the best player in the world and I want to make him the best-paid, we want our project to revolve around him"), this has not changed his decision to enforce the contract (ending in 2015) and then leave Real Madrid.
So much is needed to continue efforts to further convince Cristiano who, incidentally, believes that the president has praised him more in a week than in four years at the club & is motivated solely by the electoral process.
It is well-known that Cristiano feels discomfort with the president, as was publicly clear on the official picture day this season, when the Portuguese affectionately greeted Di Stefano, but was very cold with Florentino. Hence, in recent weeks the president has stepped up discussions with Jorge Mendes, representative of the player, to try to mend fences & try to achieve an upgrade and contract extension. The intention is to continue until June 2018, three more years beyond the current agreement. However, Cristiano was always reluctant to be used as an electoral weapon and admitted to his friends that a hypothetical renewal with Madrid was still far away.
Another aspect missing, according to CR7, is protection against external attacks that cast doubt on his professionalism. And that still seems unresolved, as was seen last Sunday, after hinting Jose Mourinho, told Punto Pelota, that Cristiano was one of the players who would not play the last two games (against Real Sociedad and Osasuna) because he was feigning injury.
At that time, no one from the club came out to defend the professionalism and commitment of Cristiano or of other players in question, instead they praised the Portuguese coach. Florentino has taken the first step to convince Cristiano to renew, but is still a long way from achieving a "yes". In addition, the Portuguese called attention to the two signings that the club had in its portfolio: the Brazilian Neymar, who yesterday was presented by the club, and Gareth Bale, the Tottenham star.
Cristiano, who has been able to score 201 official goals for Madrid in just 199 games (more than one goal on average), was surprised and disappointed when he read in the media that Florentino was willing to invest 100 million euros to hire Neymar despite him being a player who has not debuted in Europe and whose potential is yet to be seen. That the club has not prioritized an equally dramatic investment in ensuring the continuity of Christian is what has puzzled the Portuguese. But with his current emphasis on the issue, Florentino could break the deadlock.
Anyway, the renewal of Cristiano is not something that is close, not at all. Bad news for a matter that has essential priority.

So, its just a case of telling Valencia he's going back to his old shirt number then isn't it?
Why does that mention Neymar when he's just signed for Barca?
Reading between the lines of a rough translation, it seems that Ronaldo was put out by Perez being willing to spend a fortune on Neymar instead of committing that money to a contract upgrade for Cristiano.
Yeah, but it says Neymar was presented by the club, whilst talking about Madrid.
Maybe the translation is just shite.
Maybe the translation is just shite.
Yeah that's what I thought. Seems Neymar was one of two key targets for this summer before Barca bought him alongside Bale. Knowing Real were so keen on these two players who play in his position must have put him off, whilst knowing Perez was willing to pay megabucks for Neymar whilst reportedly wanting just as much for Bale.
The Neviller said:
That's a result of my supposed tidying-up of the translation, unfortunately.
Sorry.Yeah, I assumed you'd had a hand in it, StevieJ.
This makes even less sense than the poorly translated article we're discussing. You start off making it sound like Barca signed Bale alongside Neymar, and finish by making it sound as if Madrid were selling Bale
I should have put "wanting to pay" at the end, that was me typing too quickly without thinking. Let me rephrase it:
Real Madrid have been interested in Bale and Neymar for god knows how long. Barca buy Neymar, Perez claims he would have paid a lot for Neymar to come to Madrid, and he also says he will pay a lot for Bale to come there. This article isn't referring to this very instant of Ronaldo being unhappy, it's referring to the interest Madrid have shown in these two players for months, and the fact they both play in Ronaldo's position doesn't make him feel comfortable at all.
So you're all saying I shouldn't PayPal my money over to the Ronaldo fund just yet?
I think the jist of it is pretty clear. Ronaldo doesn't feel the love at Madrid, but a big sack of Dinero could solve his problems.
Sounds like typical Ronaldo to me. He's feeling grumpy because Perez hasn't stroked his ego enough and he's acting like a spoilt primadonna brat. He's not really grown up that much has he?

Nothing new there. With Madrid's galácticos policy, Ronaldo was never gonna feel as loved as he was at United.
I'd love love love to have him here as a player because I still think he's one of the all time greats (certainly in my time) but his attitude has always irked me.
I would have thought a lot of Ronaldo's love for United was working for SAF.
With a new regime in charge, bound to change things in ways yet to be determined, I can't see many reasons why he would want to come back.
If he did leave Madrid, i would guess the next phase of his career would be in London or Paris.

He's the best player I've ever seen play for United, and may well be the best I'll ever see. Of course I'd take him back, but it's never gonna happen.
As for his attitude, I think he's very likable. And it was well known he was the hardest trainer at the club, his frustrations used to get the best of him at times. We've seen Rooney throw his hands in the air and roll his eyes plenty of times too.

Yep, and that annoyed me too but Ronnie was more inclined to throw a teenage girl type strop than any other player I've seen.
Also, if he was going to leave Madrid then I could see him coming back here over a move to Paris or London.

He's spent the last few years without Fergie coaching him. In Manchester he's literally a house call away or a drop into his office rather than just a phone call. On top of that, I think he loves the fact that we as Fans adored him unconditionally unlike some of the pretentious Madrid twats. We're a big family and I think Ronaldo likes that.
The one time that really pissed me off was when he was subbed and he threw the tracksuit top being handed to him onto the ground. The crowd immediately turned on him and he instantly regretted it.
If he does leave Madrid, I do think a move to United would interest him most. Granted he gets the massive wages he'd demand.
