Latest Transfer Betting Update Part 2

As it currently stands, United can be backed at a 4/1 price to lock down Ronaldo’s signature and that puts them miles ahead of sides like Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain which trade at 20/1 or higher.

Meanwhile, at White Hart Lane, Gareth Bale is favoured to complete his transfer to Real Madrid and the bookmakers are available at a 2/7 price tag. It has been looking increasingly likely that Bale would ultimately make the move and that sorting out the price is just a matter of getting the details locked down. Look for Spurs to continue to push Real up until the last minute in an effort to drive up his price. 

There are so many variables which could derail a Bale move next year or potentially see his price cut in half. Surely paying over 100,000,000 euros for a player in modern football is insanity but Real Madrid have always prided themselves on breaking the bank when needed - even though the club are massively in debt. 

An injury, a bad season or even something crazy like an off-the-pitch scandal could see a Bale fee reduced to 50,000,000 euros - which is still an astronomical amount of money for a player. The bookmakers, for some weird reason, still list Bale to United at a 20/1 price and a move to Monaco can be backed at 33/1. 

Word on the blogs today is that Wayne Rooney was the subject of another bid from Chelsea, which was immediately turned down by the brass at Manchester United. Rooney is still yet to officially demand a transfer but you sort of get the feeling that this move from Chelsea (another example of Mourinho’s chessboard-like approach to transfers) will prompt Wazza to hand in a written request to move.
