History

Historical Context

In August 2003 Manchester United paid £12 million for 18-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, a record fee for a teenager in England, and Sir Alex Ferguson announced the club would keep him rather than loan him out. Real Madrid later made a similarly high-profile signing, paying €94 million for Ronaldo in 2009, illustrating clubs’ willingness to invest heavily in young talent and shaping current transfer strategies.
