Over the past week or so there has been news linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a possible return to Old Trafford, but like most of the rumours we hear attached to CR7 they turn out to be just talk, and perhaps wishful thinking.
This latest bit of news however sounds quite bizarre, after Iker Casillas’s agent, who has close ties to Madrid, Santos Marquez revealed that Ronaldo had sold his image rights to Valencia owner Peter Lim.
‘Will anyone speak out and Madrid why Cristiano has sold his image rights to Peter Lim?,’ said Marquez.
‘That’s not normal; it suggests that Cristiano is planning to leave.
‘Imagine Cristiano generating 40 million euros elsewhere and giving it to Peter Lim, Valencia’s owner.
‘It ends up in Valencia’s coffers and that’s deplorable.’
If Cristiano were to leave Madrid he would command a hefty fee of £66.5 million.
