CRISTIANO RONALDO has waited 11 months for Real Madrid to give him a new deal — now he can force his way out in the summer.
Just like he did when he was at Manchester United.
And it’s ironic how the Ronaldo story can come full circle as boss Sir Alex Ferguson wants the prodigal son back at Old Trafford.
His £810million get-out clause gives Madrid the upper hand. Or does it?
This summer, Ronaldo will have two years left on his contract.
Snub a new deal and, get-out clause or not, Madrid will have to accept a much lower fee.
In 2009, United lost their battle to keep Ronaldo who forced a move for a world-record £80m fee. Now the boot is on the other foot.
How amusing that must be for Fergie, if nothing else.
Frustrated Ronaldo watched Lionel Messi land a new six-year deal at Barcelona worth over £100m.
The winger was promised a new contract himself in January by Real president Florentino Perez.
But it has yet to be signed and last week Madrid were playing catch-up, saying Ronaldo will get a six-year deal worth up to £25m a season.
It may be too late. Ronaldo has told former United team-mates he wants to return and Madrid officials have already discussed a transfer fee they would accept — around £122m.
