Figo talking about Cristiano Ronaldo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://skysports.planetfootball.com...hampions_League Real Madrid star Luis Figo believes that his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo has the potential to become the world's greatest player. The 20-year-old is currently learning his trade under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, and has made great strides since joining the English giants. Whilst early impressions suggested a magnificently gifted entertainer, Ronaldo has since evolved an incisive cutting edge and is developing into a key player at Old Trafford. He has contributed with seven goals already this term, and has proved an astute purchase from Sporting Lisbon. Ronaldo made a huge impact at Euro 2004 alongside his legendary team mate, and Figo has now speculated that the winger could be better than anyone else in world football, even Chelsea's own wonder kid. "Cristiano Ronaldo, together with Arjen Robben, are two of the most promising players around," Figo stated. "I know Ronaldo well from having played alongside him for the national team, as he is Portuguese I put him above everyone else. "He has sufficient qualities to turn out to be the number one player in the world. "He is barely 20 years old yet he could turn out to be better than I have ever seen." The two could face each other in the UEFA Champions League this season, although have tricky ties against Italian sides Juventus and Milan to negotiate first. __________________
it looks like his destination will be Manchester United, 12h42Futebol/Espanha: Figo pode deixar o Real Madrid já no fim da época Luís Figo poderá ser o primeiro “galáctico” a deixar o Real Madrid, isto é, já no Verão, de acordo com o jornal desportivo espanhol “As”. Segundo aquela publicação, a Figo, com contrato até 2006, será oferecida a desvinculação, ficando absolutamente livre para jogar em qualquer outro clube. A oferta, diz o “As”, permitirá poupar 12 milhões de euros brutos com os ordenados do jogador que também beneficia, pois, sendo livre, arranjará clube com facilidade, já que a sua cláusula de rescisão aponta para 180 milhões de euros. O São Paulo, Brasil, terá sido, ainda segundo o jornal espanhol, o primeiro clube a interessar-se pelos serviços de Figo. O internacional português, contudo, terá tudo apontado para Inglaterra e, escreve o “As”, o seu destino pode ser o Manchester United.
Butragano got nothing to say about Figo, his a great profissional and he expect's Figo to finish his contract with Real Madrid http://www.record.pt/noticia.asp?id=667265&idCanal=292

Figo future is in the Premier with either Tottenham or Manchester United http://www.record.pt/noticia.asp?id=668642&idCanal=44

I read somewhere that Inter was interested in Figo but with their stadium ban by UEFA, money may be tight.

Beckham says Figo still one of the best players in the world http://www.abola.pt/nnh/index.asp?op=ver¬icia=80562&tema=2
no question he is, he can still contribute in any aort of fashion. go to inter and win that championship.
What? We want him in Sporting to celebrate our 100th. Don't say it's ludricous, because we are looking into it. The major obstacle is his salary, but the freaking guy isin't in need of money, and would prefer Sporting over some 2nd rate club in Englang or Italy.
Figo to Man U rumours continue. I guess because Queiroz is there: Futebol Internacional Figo poderá ingressar no Manchester United Luís Figo poderá estar prestes a aceitar uma proposta de Carlos Queiroz para integrar o plantel do Manchester United, depois de ter sido relegado para o banco do Real Madrid, de acordo com o que é avançado hoje por um jornal desportivo espanhol. http://www.abola.pt/nnh/index.asp?op=ver¬icia=80596&tema=2
MU made a official offer for Figo thru Carlos Queiroz http://www.record.pt/noticia.asp?id=671449&idCanal=292 QUEIROZ TERÁ RECOMENDADO CONTRATAÇÃO "Devils" querem Figo O médio português Luís Figo, do Real Madrid, é pretendido no Manchester United, para a próxima época. Segundo o diário espanhol "As", o clube inglês já terá apresentado uma proposta ao jogador, por recomendação do treinador adjunto português Carlos Queiroz, que trabalhou com o médio no Sporting, na Selecção portuguesa e, mais recentemente, no... Real Madrid. Por seu lado, Figo, que já tinha por várias vezes manifestado desejo de um dia actuar na Liga inglesa, verá com bons olhos a possibilidade de voltar a trabalhar com Queiroz e reeditar, ao lado de Cristiano Ronaldo, a dupla de extremos que levou Portugal à final do Euro'2004. Ainda segundo o "As", fontes próximas do jogador terão revelado que o próprio já admitiu estar a caminho de Inglaterra e que aguarda o final da época para iniciar negociações com o presidente Florentino Pérez para a rescisão do contrato que termina em 30 de Junho de 2006. Aliás, a vontade de Figo deixar o Real Madrid deve-se, para além da suplente a que foi relegado nos últimos três jogos, à recusa da direcção madrilista em em prolongar do actual contrato. Para o Mancheter United, o concurso do médio português de 32 anos poderia colmatar a iminente saída do extremo galês Ryan Giggs, cobiçado pelo Inter Milão. Record tentou confirmar a notícia junto de Carlos Queiroz, mas o técnico não esteve contactável. Figo lesionou-se na perna direita, durante o treino de ontem, e está em dúvida para a visita de sábado à Real Sociedad. Zidane substituído por... Solari Muito embora Zinedine Zidane não possa dar o seu contributo no embate ante a Real Sociedad por se encontrar suspenso, Vanderlei Luxemburgo não contemplou a possibilidade de o médio francês ser substituído pela escolha considerada mais natural: Figo. Ainda antes da lesão sofrida pelo português, "Luxa" já havia decidido manter o português no "banquillo", optando antes pelo argentino Solari. Para o lugar dos outros suspensos – Michel Salgado e Samuel –, deverão ingressar no onze Celades e Pavón, respectivamente. Autor: PEDRO FERRAZ Data: Sexta-Feira, 29 de Abril de 2005 01:14:00
Scolari will meet with Figo this month to discuss his possible return to the NT. Real Madrid's Portuguese midfielder Luis Figo will announce whether or not he will return to international football by May 15, Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said Wednesday. "Until the 15th we are going to meet to have coffee, to tell some tales and then talk about what is definite and if Figo can return or not," he told reporters. Scolari said he would make some proposals to Figo to see his reaction. He added that the fact that the player has been sidelined recently at the Spanish giants would not hinder his return to the Portuguese squad. "The work in the national team is separate from the work he does, or does not do, at Real Madrid," he said. Last month Figo hinted that he was on the verge of a comeback, saying that because he wasn't starting regularly for his club he felt less tired and could then return to the Portuguese team. "I retired from the international scene because I was tired and I wanted to dedicate my remaining years to my club. But as I am not a first choice selection at the moment I have started to think differently," he said. http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/050504/6/3l40.html Sounds like we will finally get an answer.
