The news are filled with Ronaldo rumors of all sorts. From having bad relationship with Casillas to leaving Real Madrid for Manchester City. Amidst all this confusion in the football world, he has also managed to tell Manchester City that he wants around 400000 per week to make a move and in another story, has also told the media that he would like to honor his contract at Real Madrid.
God knows what is really happening. One thing is for sure, these media people who put any kind of news up to sell themselves.
First of all lets just make one thing clear. This is not a Real Madrid move done just to increase the popularity of Ronaldo as compared to Lionel Messi. In fact, for Ronaldo there is no Ronaldo vs Messi at all.
Ronaldo has denied any sort of competition between him and Messi and says that he only plays football to enjoy and to win.
Ronaldo has again reiterated his desire to win titles with Real Madrid and not just individual glory. That is easy for him to say, now that he has all the individual glory.
About the his comparison with Messi and Barcelona he said this:
“I do not compete with Messi, I compete with myself and with all the teams in the league
Messi is a great player who is on a great team that has great players. He is someone I like a lot and can be the best because he has shown it.
“I would prefer to have scored half the goals and won the league or the Champions League. But I’ve felt more comfortable than last year and, individually, this was perhaps my best season.
“They won because they were the best, but no team is unbeatable. Barca have a great team and a good coach, but we’ll get there. We want to beat them and difficult things bring a different pleasure.”
This really shows that all Ronaldo wants is to win and there is nothing against Barcelona in his mind. Obviously, one is supposed to make bad comments about Barcelona when they get the kind of favors they got in the Champions League semi final 2010-2011 against Real Madrid.
I think it is obvious that given that Real Madrid have exactly the same team as Barcelona then, I think most people would choose Ronaldo over Messi simply because of the variety of football that Ronaldo brings onto the table. But the fact is, that both teams do not have the same players and hence Messi looks to be playing more beautiful football than Ronaldo.
Lets just try and stay away from Ronaldo vs Messi again.
Just after this news, another news came in which Ronaldo said that he would not leave Real Madrid for Manchester City. Recent reports suggested that Manchester City are offering 170 million for Ronaldo to Real Madrid and because Mourinho and Ronaldo had a mid season rift last season, Real Madrid are looking to part ways with their prized asset (which future reports will tell is not true obviously).
This is what Ronaldo had to say (the first time the reports appeared) about going to Manchester City:
Not bad, huh? No, I am not going.
“You can write it down there, I am not going. I give you my word. I feel fine and I want to see out my contract. If Real Madrid offered me a new contract, I would sign it.
About Neymar and Aguero coming to Real Madrid next season (which cannot be possibly true as Real Madrid would then have 5 world class strikers) he said this:
They talk about those players for Real Madrid? I did not know. They are both great,” he said. “I do not imagine myself with Aguero, he is not here [at Madrid], so I cannot imagine that. But he is great.
“I have only watched Neymar play in two matches and he thrilled me. He is very good.”
In other reports, Ronaldo also managed to make it clear that he does not care what Barcelona do in the transfer market, all he knows is that if he was the president of Real Madrid, he would keep Adebayor as Adebayor is a good human being apart from being a good player.
If you thought that was the only thing Ronaldo said in a extremely short period of time then of course you are wrong. Just after this report, Ronaldo supposedly made a U turn. Now the reports say that he is willing to move to Manchester City provided his demands are met among which the most important one is his salary.
Which Ronaldo says should be the highest at Manchester City and should be around 400000 pounds a week. That is heck a lot of money. Not only that, Ronaldo also wants his cherished no 7 shirt at Manchester City and he also wants to be the captain of the team.
Reports say that Manchester City are willing to do everything to land Ronaldo. I am surprised he did not ask for a Rolls Royce with unlimited amount of gas and the condition that Ronaldo will not be asked to listen to the coach. He will go out on the pitch all firing without any restraining orders from the coach.
This is getting insane to be honest. Here is what this report on Goal.com said:
“Cristiano says there has been contact between him and a third party. He says that he is extremely flattered at the lengths they’re willing to go to.
“He claimed that they will pay him what it takes to make him a Manchester City player.
“He says he wants £400k as taxes are higher in England
I think we can safely assume that Ronaldo will not be going anywhere this season. What do you guys think? Is there a possibility of Ronaldo leaving? Will Manchester City offer Real Madrid 170 million pounds for Ronaldo?
