Because the most expensive players are always the cheapest. Ronaldo is worth an estimated 500 million Euros in marketing income if he was to sign a 5 year deal.

Not satisfied?? Wait until we see them in action in bernabeu.. Should be interesting.. hehe

did u take note of his claims? he tried to get his contract renewed many times before, but madrid didn't show any urgency.
but they did start to take notice when their transfer targets slipped away. (http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/...ual_124157.html)
for a player who's never had any major problems with the club to suddenly claim he's determined to leave, obviously something really bad happened. to me, it seems he does have a case here. a player doesn't just suddenly decide to leave right? its a culmination of events that has upset him big time.
