Yes, but the story is Rooney out Ronaldo in. Rooney is apparently on £250k a week.
If Ronaldo is available for £50m (doubtful) and you can get rid of Rooney for £30m then you would be mad not to do it. The £20m shortfall could be made up in shirts, posters, dolls etc as Ronaldo has far more fanboys than Rooney. And the wages wouldn't be too different I'd guess.
Yeah they could do it but would Ronaldo want to come back to the premier?
