FIFAs World Footballer of the Year 2008 transfer to Real Madrid is the record one in all aspects, since it is beating the previous record, also set by Real Madrid who paid 73 million€ in 2001 for Zinedine Zidane transfer from Juventus to Real by a 22 million €.
The Spanish newspaper La Rezon has also published details of six year contract, according which Cristiano Ronaldo will yearly receive 9.5m Euros a year - after tax, which is s8m, or s155k a week, and 40% of his image rights.
It is the first time for several years Man United would have allowed a player to leave they weren't happy about losing.

Barcelona at the top of Europe
And, there we hawe it , Barcelona deservedly lift the Champions League trophy after beating defending champions Manchester United 2-0 the Champions League final in Rome last night.
Barcas coach Josep Guardiola has once more demonstrated his extensive knowledge of football and showed why they are called by many the best team in the world this season.Manchester United started the game surprisingly open and offensive, but in the opening 10 minutes, they failed to score,especially Ronaldo began the game looking as if he wanted to win the match single-handed and earned a free-kick after only 90 seconds, but Park Ji-Sung's follow up was pushed across for a corner. In moments of greatest pressure from United, however, Barcelona has conducted the first serious attack, which was effectively finished by Samuel Eto'o.
Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o provided the first goal for Barcelona, in the 10th minute, he danced past defender Nemanja Vidic and fired a shot from close range that went in off the hand of Manchester United's Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar........and the rest, as they say, is history.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the among most disappointed after the Champions League final defeat.
Cristiano described the defeat as "one of the biggest disappointments of my career".
"We were always confident before the game but unfortunately we couldn't do it," said the Portugal international. "It is always bad when you lose a final but we didn't play well.
"We did OK in the first 10 minutes but you have to say Barcelona deserved to win."
