Graham Hunter - the guy I listen to mostly regarding La Liga news, who is mostly spot on - has stated Ronaldo doesn't want to stay at all. Apparently he doesn't like the direction Real Madrid are taking: the disorganisation, the chances of success, and doesn't like life in Spain as much as he thought he would have. Ronaldo is apparently pushing for a move and has complete power in the negotiations. The only thing stopping him leaving is the situation regarding Real Madrid simply not being able to let him go if they want any chances of success. They've had a horrible campaign this year (not competing in the league, losing cup final to rivals), and fans will not be happy if they sell their biggest star. However, if they refuse to sell Ronaldo, Ronaldo will play one more season and then leave SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper as he will then only have 12 months remaining on his contract. Real Madrid would never let Ronaldo go for free, so they need to decide whether keeping him this season is worth selling one of the best players in the world cheaply the next.
Hunter also stated that should Ronaldo leave - be it this year or next - his likely destination is United. He doesn't particularly want to play under Mourinho again and he was ultimately very happy at Manchester United. He has friends there, he loves the fans, they love him, and it's the place he wants to go. As a United fan listening to Graham talk about that made me wet, but I am desperately wanting this to happen THIS season. However, I think Real Madrid will refuse and sell hi cheaper, as they really can't compete if they lose him and don't get someone like Bale.
Sorry Rodrigo.
