Mags Serbia 0 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) source:News of the world REAL MADRID are keen to offload Ronaldo for a cut-price £5million this month, with Newcastle ready to pounce. Sport of the World has learned the Magpies could move in after Real's Italian hitman Antonio Cassano refused to go to St James' Park. But they will be looking at wages of at least £90,000 a week for the Brazil legend. Ronaldo like Cassano, has fallen out with the Spaniards' boss Fabio Capello. Now Capello has made it clear the superstar striker has played his last game for the club. Real president Ramon Calderon said: "Up to January 31 there could be a possibility for a transfer and, if that's the case and Ronaldo wants to leave, we will evaluate it." It has been alleged Ronaldo, 30, is near joining David Beckham in Major League Soccer. But he still hopes to take part in the next World Cup and a move to the States would signal the end of his international career. Real will let Ronaldo go for a low fee as they would avoid paying his £4.5m-a-year wages for the next three years.

Jimbo 175 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Ronaldo heading for Madrid exit Real Madrid's Brazilian striker Ronaldo has been told he can leave the club. Ronaldo, 30, is the second big name to be told he is surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu after David Beckham agreed to move to LA Galaxy in August. "The situation is different to that of Beckham as Ronaldo still has another year on his contract after this one," said club president Ramon Calderon. "But he is going to be inactive because the coach has made it clear he doesn't count on him." Ronaldo has started only three league matches under Italian coach Fabio Capello, who has been focusing on bringing in new blood since taking over in the summer. Following the win, Capello celebrated by making an obscene gesture towards a small section of the crowd that had been calling for his head - although he did later make an apology. "I want to apologise to everyone but this has been going on since the first day I arrived. here. There are two people behind the dug-out who are continually offensive," he said. "The gesture was towards those two but, as the coach of Real Madrid, I should apologise," said Capello, outraged that his abusers this time had a sign that said 'Ronaldo stay, Capello get lost'. But it is the Brazilian who is heading for the exit and Ronaldo could follow Beckham to Major League Soccer following speculation over a move to New York Red Bulls. The former Cruzeiro, PSV Eindhoven, Barcelona and Inter Milan forward has also been linked with a return to Italy with Juventus and a move to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. Al Ittihad president Mansour Al Balwi said on Friday: "There is definite interest. We have not negotiated with him but very soon we will start the process of getting in contact with him." Calderon added: "We have to find an exit that's good for him. "I know sporting director Predrag Mijatovic has had conversations with some clubs and that the player also has offers but we'll have to wait and see whether it will be now or in June. "It would surely be better for the club and him if he went if there are offers. If not, he will stay with us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46818 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 He'll be going somewhere where he can put his feet up and get away with being two stone overweight tbh. Doubt he's got any interest in being a big Premiership flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 He probably would score goals, but he'd equally probably be less mobile than Shearer in his last season. I might have given Bobby Robson a chance to re-ignight some genuine interest in him, but I dunno that any one else could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
