Real Madrid’s Perez claims Ronaldo will join club soon

Madrid (Spain), May 30 : Real Madrid presidential candidate Florentino Perez has hinted that Portuguese and Manchester United star striker Cristiano Ronaldo will join the Spanish football club this summer

According to The Sun, Ronaldo's switch to Real Madrid has edged closer after Perez claimed that ''an agreement'' is already in place for Manchester United winger.

Ronaldo had already told close friends he would be leaving Old Trafford before next season.

The Portuguese ace then refused to commit himself to the Premier League champions after Wednesday''s Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.

That will have had boss Alex Ferguson fuming but the latest comments from Florentino Perez, who could take over Real''s presidency as soon as Monday, will enrage him further.

Fergie expects Ronaldo to remain with United, but Perez said: "He''s a player that would be very good if he came to Real Madrid. What I know is what I''ve read, that there is an agreement by means of which he would come for 80 million pounds.

"Next week, we will look at the numbers and nobody should doubt that we are going to design a spectacular project with our sporting advisors," he added.

AC Milan''s Kaka is another name on Perez's wish list. (ANI)
