La Liga - Ronaldo passes Real medical

Eurosport - Mon, 06 Jul 21:55:00 2009

Cristiano Ronaldo has successfully completed his medical with Real Madrid.

FOOTBALL 2008-2009 La Liga Real Madrid Ronaldo NO PUBLICATION IN ITA AND FRA - 0

Ronaldo landed at Madrid airport just after midday on Monday before heading to the Hospital Sanitas La Moraleja for his medical as he puts the finishing touches on his world-record £80 million move from Manchester United.

The 24-year-old has agreed a six-year contract with Madrid.

Carlos Diez, Real Madrid's medical chief, told the club's website: "(Ronaldo) is in perfect condition and very eager to start the season as soon as possible."

Ronaldo, the reigning FIFA World Player of the Year, will be the third new signing presented by Madrid since Florentino Perez returned to the club presidency at the start of June.

Brazil star Kaka, who cost a reported £56m from Milan, was unveiled in front of around 55,000 people at the Bernabeu last Tuesday while Spain international Raul Albiol was presented on Thursday following his move from Valencia.

Madrid have also agreed a deal with Lyon for their striker Karim Benzema for an initial fee of £30m, a transfer that takes the Spanish giants' summer spending close to the £200m mark.

  1. I am grateful that christiano is no longer cr7 now cr9.­ Its only at OT where players shine and get what they­ want. You remember Becks was 7 at man u but at rm he­ got 23 and there was nothing good from him. The change­ starts with number 9. Ronaldo is no longer my best I­ loved chris when he was at ot not real madrid . Now­ Ronaldo is nothing to me and i know that he want shine­ as he was at ot. Now I hope Man u will produce the best­ players who will make us happy and Real Madrid not­ bother to take them away. Real madrid is just a grave­ yard. CR9 be yourself and dont think you will enjoy the­ support you had with man u fans and the pressure is on­ you. am Sir arthur from malawi who loved you at ot and­ nicknamed bicycle 7.

  2. Did they not pay Manchester United the €94 million for­ him last week? And they only thought to have medical­ this week?! What sort of muppets are running that club?

  7. rabih_zebian,

    I am suggesting that if he had porked­ Paris, he would have an absolute menagerie of STDs and­ therefore would have failed his medical.

  10. Cr7 is a world-class player but left Man Utd as he had­ "nothing left to achieve"! so what happens if­ within 2 years he wins everything with Real Madrid? he­ will have nothing to achieve there so will he throw his­ toys out of the pram and get a transfer? Bearing in­ mind that only Man City would be able to afford £100m+­ to buy him, a transfer to Italy or anywhere else is out­ of the question! Methinks a few more years in England­ would have benifited him more than going to Spain now.­ But he done very well for Utd and I wish him luck. Just­ be a man and dont start whining about Man Utd and the­ EPL just because you have left them as it will be­ hilarious when those comments come back to haunt you­ and you are out of Europe at the hands of an English­ team!

  12. i know i will get to much thumb down from english fans­ coz i write facts and facts are painful
    why english­ fans burn their brain and say ronaldo is not good­ player
    is that jeoleusy?
    coz no english player has won­ what ronaldo won
    ronaldo won the fifa gala prize for­ best player of the year
    he won the golden ball for best­ player in europe
    he was for 3 years in row the best­ player in EPL
    he won the golden boot for the highest­ scorer in europe
    he was twice the highest scorer in­ EPL
    no english player has won all this individual­ titles
    so english fans "don't be­ jeoleuse"
    HALA MADRID

  13. Eltosso is now saying that Valencia is a better all­ round player than Ronaldo lol, what a tos.ser you are­ eltosso. And you are so brainwashed by the smell of­ prawn sandwiches that you also said that Man U gave­ Barcelona a footballing lesson in the Champs League­ final.....eltosso = tos.ser

  14. perez is the most clever manager i have ever see in my­ life
    when we represent kaka there were 500 jornalist,­ 50 TV channels, 48,000 fans and 42,000 shirt was­ sold
    imagine no this number will be doubled, it means­ in one week before even playing one match we earn alot­ of millions, what a genuis man is perez?
    to madrid­ haters
    by the waythe title say"medical test for­ ronaldo to join real"
    but unfortunatly most of the­ people here are united and barca fans, i'm­ wondering is jeoleusy or envy that push you to put your­ comment on madrid's article? oh maybe you are­ scared from those mega stars
    why would you worry to­ much about us, we madridistas know our business.
    hey­ haters don't be jeoleusy, envy and scared
    if you­ are that envy and you want to see kaka ronaldo benzema­ casillas and ribery, you can see them in 2 places
    in­ your dreams or reality in SANTIAGO BERNABEU home of­ mega stars.

  15. Badger you really are as thick and stupid as your name­ sounds. It is accepted the world over that every player­ at Man Utd are the best in the world. Barcelona should­ not have been in the final except for a cheating ref­ cos they were stuffed by Chelsea, who finished third in­ England. Man Utd gave Barcelona a footballing lesson­ but sometimes in football the best team do not always­ win. What matters is that Man Utd are world champions­ and there is not a single world class player in the­ Real Madrid team. Man Utd will put six past Real Madrid­ when they next meet. Vidic and Ferdinand will stop any­ of their weak forward line. Valencia is a much better­ all round player and does not need to score but just­ put the ball into the box. The most feared striking­ force in world football Rooney, Berbatov and Owen will­ convert the chances. Man Utd have become an even­ stronger team and we got 65 million change as well.­ Open your eyes and stop deluding yourself.

  16. He passed a medical after spending a night with Paris­ Hilton. I guess we know that he didn't get any­ then!

  17. Like most rats... Ronaldo got out before the ship sank!­ And as to certain people's comments about Man Utd­ dominating world football??? Some people obviously have­ short memories of the recent spanking in the­ Champion's League final...

  20. elrosso - kaka would walk into United's 1st team,­ I'm pretty sure.

    badger - 2-0 vs Barca was a bad­ day at the office. SAF will find adequate cover, never­ you mind!
