#2 Cristiano Ronaldo: €94 million
If anyone has any doubt as to which is the best piece of business done by Florentino Perez, it has to be that of Cristiano Ronaldo's purchase from Manchester United for €94 million. Since arriving in 2009, there hasn’t been a single honor that he hasn’t delivered to the club.
From Copa Del Rey to Champions League to Club World Cup, he has given it all during his nine-year stay at the club. His time at Real Madrid saw him rivaling with Barcelona’s Lionel Messi as to who was the better player on the pitch. A total of ten Ballon D’ors were won between the two sports icons.
Real Madrid have seen a dip in their form after his departure to Juventus last season. Of all the transfer deal Perez ever negotiated, this was the best piece of business that he has conducted.
