Cristiano Ronaldo Can Be The Richest Prick On Earth

Manchester United has set a price for Cristiano Ronaldo and all of his hair gel extravaganza and man purse selling appeal. If Real Madrid are really interested in his services, then they’ll have to shell out $147 million, which, if fronted and accepted, would annihilate the world record fee of $110 million set by Real Madrid when they attained Zinedine Zidane in 2000. Yet, there are no guarantees Man Utd. will even sell even if Madrid decide to make Ronaldo the richest, cockiest, arrogant bastard that ever set foot on a pitch.

A leading agent told the Daily Express: “A few days ago, as the transfer window opened, Real Madrid made it plain they would pay 60m euros (£44.3m), but Manchester United’s response was emphatic.
“They told Real not to come back with anything less than 100m euros (£73.9m) – and even then there is no guarantee that they would would take it.”

Whether the initial ‘offer’ and the reply came from agents rather than directly from the clubs is debatable. But there is no doubt Real want Ronaldo – badly enough to break the record fee.

Let’s get something straight: the guy is amazing on the pitch, but this is fucking insane. It’s like giving a cocaine addict a life’s supply of coke. Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t need money like this. No. Wait. The world doesn’t need Cristiano Ronaldo to have money like this. This may be fueled by a severe case of envy, or we’re just trying to make sense of what $147 million may look like laid out on a bed. There’s a scene in “Blow” that gives us an idea, which, if you can’t tell, we always associate with a lot of money. Does Cristiano Ronaldo deserve this much money? Hell no. Now you tell us what you think.
