Manchester United have accepted a world record bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The bid is said to be worth GBP 80 million (NGN2.12 billion).
According to a Manchester United spokesman, the decision came as a result of Ronaldo's express request as he said he wants to leave. The acceptance of the offer is unconditional, and the deal is expected to be concluded by the end of June.
