"Madrid should have bought Cristiano Ronaldo as Beckham's replacement two years ago. When Beckham arrived, our sponsors significantly raised their payments to us and we rescued the finances of the club. What happened in the last few years is that the club did not reinvest in the type of players to continue with that model. I want to put that right. If Cristiano Ronaldo comes in, we would have a Nike-endorsed player putting on an Adidas shirt every week."
