Ronaldo Set For Shock Return to Old Trafford?
Manchester Evening News first reported that Manchester United were lining up a bid for Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, sending off a shockwave of response. The move, which would likely shatter the world record transfer fee of $130 million that Gareth Bale set in 2013, would instantly make Manchester United the favorites for the Premier League title. The latest reports have Manchester United pursuing a deal, but have yet to agree on a fee with Real Madrid. Per league rules, every player in La Liga must have a release clause in their contract. Ronaldo's? A cool $1.5 billion. Ronaldo spent six years in Manchester, scoring 84 goals in 196 matches. His career took off following the move to Madrid, though. He's scored a remarkable 225 goals in 200 games. (Getty)
