Real Madrid Shows Interest in Cristiano Ronaldo

Spanish La Liga leader Real Madrid is reportedly prepared to pay over $102 million for Manchester United wonderkid Cristiano Ronaldo.

Although the 22-year-old Portuguese star is under contract at Old Trafford until 2012, Ronaldo has expressed his desire to play in the Spanish league.

Sports daily As claims Madrid president Ramon Calderon will sell a few players at the end of the season in a bid to fund the move.

AC Milan's intention to keep its Brazilian star Kaka has reportedly motivated Calderon, who is keen to liven up Bernd Schuster's hard-working team with a media star, to consider Ronaldo.

Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes' close relationship with Real sports director Pedja Mijatovic may help negotiations succeed.
