Ronaldo is set for a rich paycheck if he heads to Madrid
Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will recieve an offer worth 100 million euro from Spanish giants Real Madrid, manager Bernd Schuster assures.
Real Madrid manager Bernd Schuster comfirmed the 'La Liga' champions will make an offer for the Portugese international, after FIFA cleared the spanish giants off any wrong doing when United sent a complaint regarding player poaching.
Schuster said the club is willing to offer Ronaldo - who's EURO campaign ended against Germany this week - a record breaking transfer fee for his services.
Speaking to German media, Schuster said if Madrid want Ronaldo, they will persist in gaining his signature.
"If we need to bring him over, Madrid will pay that sum. the least that can happen would be not gaining his services" Schuster said.
Schuster - who won the 'La Liga' title in his first season at Madrid, said however he does not know if Madrid will officially contact Ronaldo. European champions Manchester United have made it clear the Portugese whizkid is not for sale.
"I would do the same thing if i was in United's position. He has a long term contract there but Madrid are doing alot for his signature. Everything depends on Manchester".
Ronaldo - who is contracted to United for another 4 years, made his feelings clear earlier in the year, stating his desire to play for 'Los Merengue' next season.
Schuster and Madrid want him aswell.
"He wants to come no doubt and we want him aswell."

Not to mention Ronaldo making a huge mistake anyway in apparently wanting to transfer clubs, because Real Madrid aren't built to serve his play style like United are. Just like for Portugal, he will rot in a team that's not built around him.
But despite all the controversy i still don't think the Glazer family will sell him. They'll put him in the stands before they'd sell him to Madrid, i still believe that.
