Barcelona are the latest team to show serious interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. The team plans to off load several players such as Deco and Ronaldinho to be able to finance a Cristiano Ronaldo deal. Barcelona’s influential sport director Txiki Begiristain was on the Spanish television show Gol a Gol over the weekend and said “Cristiano Ronaldo is a player we think we can sign in the summer. Cristiano Ronaldo is a key player for any club, but I still think it will be complicated to persuade Manchester United to sell in the summer.”

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the highest valued player in the world at 40 million pounds.
