7 is for Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to be the highest paid footballer in the English League.























Manchester is set to offer the young Portuguese a salary increment of 140,000 pounds-a-week deal which will keep him at Manchester United until 2014, which in total cost about 44 million pounds. This increment will take Ronaldo ahead of the salary currently earned by Chelsea's captain John Terry which is 130,000 pounds-a-week.


Man.United management is more than happy to reward Ronaldo for his sterling performance this season where he has so far banged in almost 20 goals this season. On average that's one goal per match.


What amuses me is how Arsene Wenger revealed 'how close' Ronaldo was to signing for Arsenal. Well, however true that is Mr Wenger, Cristiano decided NOT to sign for Arsenal, didn't he?
















On another note, UEFA chief & french legend Michel Platini has challenged Cristiano to prove himself on the world stage if he is to be crowned truly great.








































Ronaldo replied he can't wait for Euro to begin.
