ABOVE: New boss David Moyes and United target Cristiano Ronaldo
He’s the best player in the world and I want him to be the best paid in the world
Florentino Perez
REAL MADRID will make Cristiano Ronaldo the
highest-paid star in the world to stop him making a sensational return
to Manchester United.
United have spent the last six months working on a blockbuster deal to lure Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, as exclusively revealed in Starsport.
The Premier League champions are desperate to re-sign Ronaldo to boost their chances of winning the Champions League.
Billionaires Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on landing the Portuguese superstar.
But Florentino Perez, the president of Real, has no intention of selling Ronaldo and is willing to break the bank to keep him at the Bernabeu.
Perez is up for re-election at the Spanish giants next season and knows keeping the club’s prized asset would guarantee him being voted in again.
Now Perez is willing to sanction a mind-boggling deal for Ronaldo worth close to £300,000 a week.
Perez said: “He’s the best player in the world and I want him to be the best paid in the world.
“We are going to do everything in our power to make him happy, to make sure he isn’t sad.
“He went through a rough patch and that’s that. After this, he’s been exceptional.
“Cristiano has been exemplary and has never had problems with anyone.”
Ronaldo joined Real from United in 2009 for a world-record fee of £80m.
He has gone on to score an incredible 146 goals in 135 games but claimed he was unhappy last season, which coincided with United making their move.
Meanwhile, it is understood new United boss David Moyes will block a move from Crystal Palace to take Wilfried Zaha back on a season-long loan deal.
United signed Zaha in a £15m deal in January but immediately let Palace have him back.
He has helped fire them into the top flight and Palace bosses want to keep him for another 12 months.
But Moyes is keen to work with Zaha and mould him into a Premier League star, which means Palace’s cheeky request will be turned down.
