Ronaldo wants to carry on at Real Madrid, but first he wants
to clear up a few matters concerning next season's team.
PSG, and more importantly, Al Khelaifi's millions are
knocking on his door. For now, the Portuguese isn't answering, as he is more
interested in projects than money.
Ronaldo's allegiance to Real Madrid has some caveats. He
wants to know more details regarding the club's sporting project and has said
as much to Florentino Pérez. Once he has been provided with all the necessary
information, he will make a decision.
The player's talk with the president was meant as a step
forward in the forming of the team for next season, not as the first move to
bump up his salary. The Portuguese ace has always had enough bargaining
ammunition in his hands and could have knocked on Florentino's door more or
less at any time these past years with various offer from other clubs.
Summer after summer, clubs have wanted to sound him out,
especially PSG, who want to be more than just champions in their own league and
to do so need to bring in players of CR7's calibre.
Al Khelaifi has been fighting with UEFA for two years,
trying to buy in players despite the spending cap that has been imposed on him
for having broken the FFP regulations laid down by Platini. The Qatari
businessman is doing all he can to give his PSG a boost and has happily
confirmed that he wouldn't think twice about forking out €125 million to have
Ronaldo playing for him.
Florentino Pérez, meanwhile, naturally doesn't want Ronaldo
to go. At the Bernabéu they believe that the Portuguese player still has two spectacular
seasons left in him, but don't want to force him to stay. The only man that has
been locked down is Bale.
