Ronaldo has passed Real medical.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be officially presented at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid this evening at 21:00 CET. It is expected that 80,000 fans will fill the stadium and watch the event live. It is also rumored that Ronaldo will wear the number "9" shirt as I previously speculated. 

Ronaldo arrived in Madrid...

Klaas Huntelaar to AC Milan?

AC Milan's vice-president Adriano Galliani was quoted saying: "We are going to sign a great forward. Luis Fabiano and Huntelaar are options, but neither will arrive before Monday."

Well, I hope they manage to reach an agreement with Fabiano as soon as possible because I'd like Huntelaar to stay at Madrid. The arrival of Karim Benzema could mean, to some of you, that Huntelaar is no longer needed, but in my humble opinion, Huntelaar is a player that we need. He is the perfect replacement for Ruud Van Nistelrooy. He has played 20 games for us and scored eight goals. You have to consider that he only came...

Real Madrid has signed their fourth player this summer with none other than the most promising, Karim Benzema. The deal was announced by the media hours before the official confirmation came from Lyon followed by a confirmation from Real Madrid. I understand some of the unsatisfied voices that wanted David Villa instead but consider this; people always criticized Señor Perez for not signing youth promising players and this deal shows that he has ...

UPDATE: Kaka's shirt number is "8".

And here comes the official confirmation of Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Real Madrid. The club has just issued the following statement.

Real Madrid CF and Manchester United have signed the definitive agreement for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Spanish club on 1 July.

The player will stay at Real Madrid for six seasons.

Ronaldo will be presented at the Santiago Bernabeu on 6 July.

The fee is $135m (95m euros -- 80m pounds). His salary is set to be 15m euros a year. His image rights will be divided 50-50. His shirt number is yet to be known, but it is most likely to be "9".

The club has officially issued this statement.

Real Madrid CF has reached an agreement with Sport Lisboa e Benfica for the transfer of Javier Saviola. The Club wants to thank the player for his work and wishes him to be successful in this new stage in his career

UPDATE: Saviola moved to Benfica for €5m.

When I first heard that Schuster wanted to bring Saviola to Real Madrid, I was pretty excited. I liked and still like Saviola's pace, positioning and dribbling skills, but he was unlucky wherever he went. Schuster, the man who brought him, was the same man who benched him for the whole season, and Juande Ramos was no different as he too had no faith in the Rabbit.

Everyone knew he was going to leave, especially with the presence of players like Higuain, Rau'l,...

Real Madrid has officially announced through its official website that Raul Albiol is the club's third signing this season. The 23 year old center-back is set to sign a five-year contract with the club and will be presented next week after taking a medical exam and signing his contract. Raul Albiol is the first Spanish signing of the second Galagticos era and the first defensive reinforcement. According to Cadena Ser, Real Madrid paid Valencia €15m for the Spain international. 

RAUL ALBIOL STATISTICS AND BIO

Iker Casillas 

Real Madrid has officially clarified the rumors linking Casillas to Manchester United. The only reason there is a profile of Casillas on ManUTD.com is that the English club keeps a database of former opponents (there are profiles for Guti, Rau'l, Zidane, Figo..etc). However, this doesn't deny that Fergie is interested in signing Casillas, and quite frankly, I'm surprised that he would think he can get someone as Casillas.

Sir...

Rau'l: hey Ronaldo, you can get Paris Hilton, but not that number ;)

It looks like that Ronaldo will put pen on paper sometime next week and possibly be presented on the same day or maybe later with Kaka after he has ended the dispute with Real Madrid over his image rights (he wanted 60-40 in his favour, but he'll now get 50) However, the question on the mind of Madridistas now is what number is Ronaldo going to get?

A while back, while Calderon was negotiating for a deal,  I reported that Ronaldo registered the "CR9" trademark (he also...

 Real Madrid made headlines when the deal to land Man Utd flamboyant winger Cristiano Ronaldo was announced almost two weeks ago. Some said 80M€ was a bargain deal for a player of CR7 caliber and some said that 80 mill is far too much to spend on a spoiled brat ( their word not mine).More over people dwells upon whether CR7 came searching to satisfy his l.o.v.e for the value of the madridismo and the sole of the best club in the world or he's searching to deepen his already very very deep pockets and well some also said that he got tired of the ladies in the UK its Madrid's ladies turn. A man can ponder but, it looks like Ronaldo is a greedy dude like so many people think.
