Transfer speculations

Football is business for the clubs and big clubs want big players. The past week papers head lines were: ¨Barcelona line up Cristiano Ronaldo¨.

Barcelona has 80 million pounds to spend on transfers during the summer and they are aiming towards 23 year old C. Ronaldo. The club set to offload the likes of Ronaldinho, Deco and Gud johnsen to fund his purchase.

Although Barcelona has different players in mind to buy during transfer season, they think Ronaldo is on top of its list. Barcelona has to beat arch-rival Real Madrid, who last week talked with the Portugal internationals agent, Jorge Mends, to discuss a potential eight million pounds a year contract at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Ronaldo has a contract extension until 2012 with Manchester United. In his own words: “I am very grateful to this football club. They have helped me a lot since I came here and hopefully I can become a big part of Manchester United history.”
