He’s off then. United have this morning announced that a staggering world record fee of £80 milllion has been agreed with Real Madrid for the services of Ronaldo.
The player will now travel to Spain to discuss terms for a transfer that is likely to kick-off a chain of big money moves.
For fantasy managers it’s an end of an era. A turning point – particulary in the Fantasy Premier League game – a game which Ronaldo threatened to break single handedly with his weekly double figure points hauls. It looks as though we’re all have to start thinking about our choice of captain again.
Much more on this later.
