REAL MADRID imesema inaweza kupokea Paundi milioni 350  ambazo ni sasa na Sh. Trilioni 1.3 ili kumruhusu mchezaji wao Cristiano Ronaldo kuondoka  klabuni hapo na kujiunga na klabu za Paris Saint-Germain au Manchester United.

Mchezaji mwenye umri wa miaka 32 hana furaha ya kuweko kwake na klabu hiyo ya Bernabeu kutokana na kutoungwa mkono katika mapambano yake na mamlaka za kodi za Hispania, pia kile anachoona kutotendewa haki na vyombo vya habari na kuzomewa kwa mara kwa mara ambako amekuwa akifanyiwa na mashabiki wa Real Madrid.

Hata hivyo, alisaini mkataba mpya wa miaka mitano na mabingwa hao mnamo Novemba mwaka jana ambapo mshahara wake kwa wiki ni Pauni 350,000, ambayo ni sawa na Sh. Bilioni 1.

Dau la kuuzwa kwake limepangwa kuwa ni Pauni 870, kiwango ambacho hakuna klabu yoyote inayoweza kulitoa, zikiwemo za China.  Hata hivyo, Rais wa Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, amesema klabu yake inaweza kuchukua Pauni milioni 350 ili kumuuza Ronaldo.

Messi ameulizwa kuhusu tofauti yake na Ronaldo ambapo Messi amesema yeye na Ronaldo wako poa tu akini kila mtu anajaribu kupambana ili kuonesha alichonacho uwanjani ila nje ya uwanja hakuna tofauti kati ya nyota hao wawili.

Kuhusu uwezo wa Ronaldo uwanjani Lioneil Messi amesema Ronaldo ni “bora sana” alisema “tunajaribu kufanya kitu bora kwa ajili ya timu zetu kila mwaka lakini kuhusu nje ya uwanja sifikirii sana kama hilo ni muhimu,dunia nzima inajua kuhusu Ronaldo ni mcheza bora na ndio maana ni mmoja kati ya wachezaji bora duniani.”

Lakini pia Messi alizungumzia taarifa za kuongeza mkataba mpya ndani ya Barcelona ambao utaisha mwaka 2021 akisisitiza ya kwamba hana mpango wa kuondoka Nou Camp na anataka kumalizia maisha yake ya soka katika uwanja huo kwani hilo ndiop jambo ambalo amekuwa akiliota kila siku.
Mshambuliaji wa Real Madrid, Christiano Ronaldo amethibitisha ubora wake, baada ya kufunga mabao mawili kwenye fainali ya Ligi ya Mabingwa Ulaya juzi.

Ushindi huo wa mabao 4-1 umemuibua Rais wa Real Madrid, Florentino Perez akisema, Ronaldo ndiye anastahili kupata Tuzo ya Ballon d’Or msimu huu.

Ronaldo amefanikisha Madrid kutimiza ndoto yake ya kutwaa mataji mawili makubwa msimu huu.

Madrid ilicheza mbele ya Juvenus pungufu baada ya mchezaji wake kulimwa kadi nyekundu, huku vijana wa Zinedine Zidane wakipata uchochoro zaidi wa kuziona nyavu.

Kutokana na ubingwa huo, Real Madrid imefikisha mataji mawili baada ya kunyakua ubingwa wa La Liga msimu huu.

Kwa maana hiyo, Perez alisema hakuna sababu ya kumzuia Ronaldo kutwaa tuzo ya Ballon d’Or.
