Real Madrid bid for Cristiano Ronaldo

Thu Jan 4, 10:15 AM ET



MADRID (AFP) - Spanish giants Real Madrid have made a bid for on-fire Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo.


Real, without silverware for four years, have bid 40 million euros for the 21-year-old Portugual international in an effort to sign him in the January transfer window, the Madrid-based ABC daily said Thursday.

But the Premiership leaders have no intention of letting go of the in-form Ronaldo, who scored three consecutive doubles for his club over the holiday period, and have slapped a price tag of 70 million euros on him.

It was not possible to confirm the report at Real Madrid.
