FIFA President and Real Madrid Honourary Member Joseph Blatter praised the Club's possible signing of Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Cristiano Ronaldo's signing is good for football. It shows the market of the sport is healthy despite the world financial crisis."
"This means our product is still good. This is the people's sport and they need stars. The transfer will cost a lot of money, but it shows that there is still demand for a football star. We should be allowed to be generous about this. This market is very sensitive because there is a financial crisis, but the football market is still a good one."
"Fifty million dollars were paid for the Brazilian Ronaldo ten years ago, and I ask myself, 'What are 80 million pounds nowadays?' This means there is still a demand for stars and that there is no crisis in football."
