Florentino wants 'anti-Sheikhs' clause in Ronaldo's Real Madrid contract

Real Madrid are ready to include an 'anti-Sheikhs' clause in the world record contract of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The departing Manchester United star is already set to become the game's highest paid player with wages rising to an amazing £560,000-a-week for the final year of his six-year deal.

Real will also insist on a world record buyout clause of over £175 million in order to keep the Portuguese star away from the new raft of Arab billionaires taking charge of European clubs.

Florentino Perez, the Real president, is insisting on the incredible clause after seeing Manchester City come close to signing Kaka in January with a £100 million offer.
