Cristiano Ronaldo -- 130 Million Reasons to Party

Posted Jun 11th 2009 10:30AM by TMZ Staff

There's a damn good reason Cristiano Ronaldo decided to hit the Hollywood nightclubs last night -- dude just became the the focal point of a $130 million European soccer deal!!

TMZ cameras caught Ronaldo and his 13-man entourage leaving club MyHouse last night -- hours after his current squad, Manchester United, accepted a world-record sized deal to sell him to Real Madrid.

It's unclear exactly how much Ronaldo will pocket from the deal -- but it's sure to buy a helluva lot of Ed Hardy.

5. this could be a time of great change for man.utd. ,I suspect sir alex is gong to say bye-bye- as well. Real Madrid is going to be a powerhouse. Kaka is the real deal.

6. I almost cried when I heard this morning. I'm more mad at Ronaldo than the club because he said numerous time over this past season that he wanted to stay in Manchester. But now here he goes, off to Spain where he won't win anything. He's become a sniveling little punk over the past few seasons and I say "good riddance"! Glory glory Man United!

9. You people don't get it. He doesn't get paid $130 mil. He'll probably get around $10 mil per season. Real Madrid will pay Manchester United $130 million just for the RIGHT to sign him to a new contract.

11. TMZ seems to forget that's nothing after taxes. And since when does this fall into the 30 mile zone?

14. Good riddance Cristiano!!!! He's more concerned with himself than his team anyway. Always diving, crying and generally acting like a baby. Let Real have him. I'd much rather keep Tevez anyway. Go Red Devils!!!!!

15. Good riddance Ronaldo!!! Man U is better off without him. He cares more about himself than he does his team. He is always diving, crying and generally acting like a baby. I'd rather keep Tevez anyway. Let Real Madrid deal with his drama. Go Red Devils!!!!
