Ronaldo tells agents: I WANT Man Utd return

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo WANTS to return to Manchester United this summer.

And The Sun says the Portuguese is willing to accept a huge cut on his Real wages to make the move happen.

Mega-rich Paris Saint-Germain are ready with a package worth £130million to tempt him to France.

But Ronaldo has made his advisors aware he would sacrifice the huge pay-day to move back to Old Trafford for HALF the amount.

But there would be lucrative bonuses and image rights on top of that.

Lauren urges Arsenal to go for Barcelona striker Villa

Former Arsenal midfielder Lauren would like to see his old club sign Barcelona striker David Villa.

Lauren feels Villa's arrival would transform Arsene Wenger's team.

He told La Xarxa: "Arsenal need a striker like Villa. They need that sort of player.

"Villa can get you 15, 20, 25 goals in a season, and that's what Arsenal need at the moment. Villa has a lot of talent, scores a lot of goals.

"He would do brilliantly at Arsenal. He'd combine well with Monreal, Cazorla and Arteta. He'd fit in with the Spaniards in the dressing room, and the adaptation period would be very quick.

Arsenal facing world record £1.5 BILLION takeover bid 

 

Arsenal are set to be subject of a world record £1.5 BILLION takeover bid.

The Sunday Telegraph says the group will be backed by funds from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and the offer will far exceed the £800 million paid by the Glazers for Manchester United.

The intention is to buy out Arsenal’s American owner, Stan Kroenke, whose perceived weak stewardship of the club has also been called into question by frustrated supporter groups.

The cash offer, which is more than twice the amount at which Arsenal were valued two years ago, will be for 100 per cent of the club, and if successful would wipe out debts that stand at around £250 million according to the last full year’s financial results.

According to a bid source, there would be substantial transfer funds made available to transform the club into a major force in European and world football. There would also be a pledge to reduce ticket prices at the Emirates Stadium — currently among the highest in the world — as well as an attempt to recreate “some of the feel of the old North Bank” at Highbury.
