Cristiano Ronaldo's agent has admitted that contract negotiations with Manchester United have stalled.

The Portuguese winger is in talks over a new deal to remain at Old Trafford, amidst the continued turmoil of Malcolm Glazer's takeover.

Jorge Mendes, who represents Ronaldo, told the Daily Star that his charge was in limbo at the current time.

"Negotiations are at a standstill," said Mendes.

"I am still waiting for a call from the club."

The situation with Ronaldo has inevitably led to assertions that the sensational winger will be sold.

Real Madrid have been credited with an interest - and director of sport Arrigo Sacchi underlined that the club would like to sign the player.

"The quality that he has and his age mean that he would be welcome at any club in the world," said Sacchi.

Meanwhile, Argentine defender Gabriel Heinze has urged Glazer to reveal what his plans are for the club.

There are reports that the American tycoon could sell off Old Trafford to help pay the debts he has incurred in taking over the club.

"The truth is I still don't know what the new owners' intentions are," Heinze told The Sun.

"I need to wait and see and to get an idea about the route the club is going to take.

"The players certainly haven't felt isolated from the demonstrations.

"They make sense because the fans feel a special affection for United.

"I'd like to think that if Glazer's willing to buy United, it's because he has the best intentions and wants the place to grow even bigger than it already is."
 
Maybe we should put in a cheeky bid. Being his boyhood club and and all. Not to mention having his idol playing for us.
 
He will sign it soon and aint going nowhere.Maybe his agent might be trying to raise ronaldo's pay.
 
Easy guys....it's just a matter of Gill's availability. With him just having wrapped up VDS, in the middle of signing Park and shutttling to Florida to meet Glazer....there' just no time yet. Afterall Ronaldo's current contract runs till Jun 08 so it's not as pressing as making sure we snap up our summer targets first....and then Rio next. Only then Ronaldo's case...
 
Terry Henry, I remember when he said that at his press conference, Fergie was like "well thats a good start" :lol:

But rest assured, Arsenal are not his boyhood club.
 
Oh my god, give the boy what he wants. He fully deserves even £100 000 p/w. He is going to be the best player on the world. We shouldn´t be so silly.
 
don't be silly, not by 100k a week. :tard:

but we do need to give him the damm contract about the same wage cap as Rooney.

OK, no problem with that. But how would you feel if somebody else (who knows you are an United fan) will ask YOU: "Why did you let Ronaldo leave ?"

To all: If P. Neville is on £50 000 p/w and Rio asks for £100 000 p/w in that system Ronaldo (and Rooney too) deserves £100 000 too. I have no problem with them signing contract for £30 000 p/w or £50 000 p/w. I just say they deserve it. They are our key players for next 5-10 years.
 
I hope the club don't let this little upstart hold us to ransom, this player power bollocks has to stop. He's got a lot to learn before he is even one of our best players, let alone the world's best.
 
Owen is Real's Ronaldo bait

Real Madrid will test Sir Alex Ferguson's resolve to keep Cristiano Ronaldo this summer by offering £10m-plus Michael Owen for him.

Manchester United boss Ferguson has made no secret of his desire to see Owen link up with England colleague Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford following the Reds' goalscoring problems last season.

And Spanish giants Madrid - still looking their wounds following an early Champions League exit and Barcelona's La Liga title triumph - have made it equally clear they want to freshen up their midfield with Ronaldo.

Real sporting director Arrigo Sacchi said of the 20-year-old Portuguese winger: "The quality that he has and his age mean he would be welcome at any club in the world."

Real coach Wanderley Luxemburgo is just as big a fan, so has instructed Bernabeu bosses to tempt United with a carrot of a cash deal plus Owen, who failed to dislodge Brazil hitman Ronaldo and Spanish forward Raul from their regular first-team spots last season.

I hope he stays but he needs to produce the goods for an entire season before he's worth close to £100k a week.
Phil Nev is paid highly because of his age, experience and loyality. Ronaldo has only been here 2 season and in all honesty only played well for about half that time
 
what about the likes of miller and klebs earning more than him then. theyve also been here for a few seasons, yet they earn more than him. thats ridicolous.
