Seems this one is about to be concluded, have a friend over in spain and its all over there papers at the moment, will be concluded this month.
Good riddance to the ladyboy ****, hope this happens......Potentially Tevez and Ronaldo thats half there goals and strikeforce
Reports in Spain suggest that new Madrid president Florentino Perez has been in talks with the Premier League club and are on the verge of breaking their own world record transfer, set just a few days ago for Kaka, to bring Ronaldo to the Bernabeu.
Valdano's comments will only serve to add fuel to the speculation that the Spanish giants have upped their efforts to sign the Portugal winger.
"I can't answer any questions about him," he told TVE. "I can only talk about players who are on their way here, not about those we are in negotiations over.
"He is a great professional, he dedicates a very great deal of time to his work. He is a great footballer and a very good professional."
Ronaldo has been enjoying the close season, spending time in Sardinia and Los Angeles.
The 24-year-old obviously enjoys the trappings of his fame, but Valdano insists he is still the perfect player for Madrid.
"According to the information we have managed to obtain, he is an excellent professional," he added. "You don't get the player's body he has, which is a footballing advertisement, without working a great deal.
"Another thing is that his reputation as an officially good-looking guy, and a social or advertising model, blurs his image a bit.
"He is a great footballer."
Speculation has been rife in the Spanish capital about new arrivals at the Bernabeu ever since the return of Perez, who presided over the famous 'Galacticos' era at the club.
And while they are reportedly ready to pay 89 million euros for Ronaldo, Valdano has revealed they will not break the bank for Valencia striker David Villa.
"He is an excellent striker but he has a prohibitive price," he said. "He is a player who interests us, but only at a reasonable price.
"There's a long way to the start of the season and the summer is very long - these comings and goings will be very interesting.
"They have written about hundreds of players who dream about coming to Real Madrid and it's logical that one of those will end up in the side."

Jorge Valdano is Real Madrid's general director. I reckon he made those comments.
