Rio target for Real Madrid and Barcelona

[BoomItsClowgon]

MANCHESTER UNITED are heading for a Ronaldo-style battle to hang on to Rio Ferdinand.

The England defender is a target for Barcelona and Real Madrid - and knows a move to Spain will boost his growing business career.


Ferdinand is under contract until 2013 but United could be tempted to cash in on a player who is 30 and who has suffered from recent injury problems.


A move to Spain would give brand Rio the kind of platform both David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo have exploited at Madrid.


A source revealed: "Rio can see the sense of it.


"Not only would it be a fresh challenge as he nears the end of his career, it would also fit all his projects off the pitch.


"Rio has big business plans, which are already taking shape, and would really take off if he moved to one of the big Spanish clubs."


Ferdinand's growing portfolio includes running a record label and a football agency. He is also about to launch a lifestyle management company.

Well lol. I don't think he would move but when he's back from Injury if he plays well then i'm sure United will keep him. He hasn't been in great form for the past 2 years or so.

If a bid comes in for about 20 - 30 Million then you never know. :rolleyes:

20 million? Surely it would need to be greater than 30 million.

Your just Gullible for believing everything that is reported in newspapers.
:rolleyes:

He's 30 now ain't he?

So what if he's 30, defenders still play, well till the mid 30's, which is a good 5 years if he can stay fit.

Well i suppose something in the range of 30m+ then. Terry is worth that.

Considering you bought him for that much and you have no need to sell, I would put a big price tag on the fella. Then, if anyone wants to bust the bank, you get more money than he's actually worth. If you need to sell, and need money quick, you'd knock £5 million off.
