Betting market suggests Ronaldo is Madrid bound
Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has been installed 7/2 third-favourite by bookies to be Real Madrid’s top scorer in La Liga next season. The Manchester United star will have surgery on his injured ankle next week, but reports in the Spanish press suggest that Ronaldo’s long-awaited move to Madrid is nearing completion.
His former Manchester United team-mate Ruud van Nistelrooy is the 5/2 favourite, with Real captain Raul next in the betting at 10/3.
Ronaldo is also 5/6 to score 14 or more league goals in his first season at the Bernabeu.And with Ronaldo seemingly on his way, bookmakers have also cut the odds of Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov to replace him at Old Trafford from 5/2 to 11/8.
