Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009 for a world record fee of €94 million was a historic moment in football. The move, as revealed by former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon, was not an easy one to negotiate. Manchester United, under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson, were reluctant to part ways with their star player, who was excelling in the English Premier League and had recently won the Ballon d’Or.
Calderon explained that Ronaldo's desire to join Real Madrid played a crucial role in sealing the deal. Despite Manchester United's initial reluctance, a mutual commitment between the player and both clubs eventually led to the successful transfer at the end of the season.
Currently, Cristiano Ronaldo is plying his trade for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, with a contract that runs until 2025. Despite facing game suspensions, Ronaldo continues to captivate his fans and enjoy quality time with his family.
