Makes perfect Madrid sense to me. Buy Reus, sell Ronaldo next year to United for crazy money. Profit for relatively little on-field loss. Football is a business to them.
You think that Real will sell their most iconic and beloved player, arguably the world's best and currently still the only competing with Barca's superstar Messi, before he starts to decline?
