#1 Only Real Madrid can meet his criteria of wealth and status
There are not many clubs in the world who can afford to sign a player like the Portuguese megastar - Cristiano Ronaldo - who is inching closer to the twilight of his career for an unavoidable world record fee.
The wealth and status merited by Ronaldo is well known and difficult to fulfill unless the president is Florentino Pérez and the fans are as true as Real Madrid's.
The recent transfer saga involving Juventus has sensationally grabbed headlines but it will be difficult to pull off as Ronaldo's wages are a sticking point in the negotiations. As of now, the Portuguese's wages are four times what Higuain, Juventus' current highest earner, is being paid.
Hence, Ronaldo's stay at Real Madrid is something that suits both parties to a T.
