English Premier News :: Glazers resigned to losing Ronaldo - according to Madrid newspaper.

Posted on 2008-07-03 by Gooner

The Madrid-based newspaper AS reports that the American owners of Manchester United are currently working on the assumption Cristiano Ronaldo will move to Real.

The paper claims that - after several conversations with United chief executive David Gill - the Glazers realise that Ronaldo's departure is inevitable, and will have to begin negotiations with Real over what is sure to be a world record transfer.

Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes has reportedly told United that his client wants to make the move, and although definite negotiations have not yet started, a transfer is seen as an inevitability.

AS claims that a bid of around 70-75 million Euros (just under £60million) will be enough to persuade United to sell their prize asset.

Ronaldo is currently back in Portugal following Euro 2008, and is set to undergo surgery on an ankle injury in the next few days.
