UEFA president Michael Platini has maintained his stand on the fact that he viewed the record signing of Cristiano Ronaldo by Real Madrid as indecent. Real Madrid has reportedly signed Ronaldo for a whopping 94 million euros. The UEFA president who was on a visit to the Spanish giants’ stadium expressed his opinion that the amount seemed indecent in a news conference at the Santiago Bernabeu. The remarks came just before the clash between Real and AC Milan in the Champions League.

Platini who sat beside Florentino Perez, the President of the Real Madrid, admitted to having no problems with the signing as he felt that it was not a big deal for a club like Real who has the money to make such record signing. Everything seemed perfectly alright between the two top guns. UEFA had earlier sought to curb the splurges which the clubs had been indulging in. Perez also went up to the extent of saying that the relationship between Real Madrid and UEFA and between its officials have always been smooth and hoped that it would continue to remain so. He described the ties between two parties as excellent.

Real Madrid came under the hammer for signing Ronaldo from Manchester City and Kaka from AC Milan. Platini has termed the transfers as a serious challenge to the idea of fairplay and the Vatican newspaper felt that the Real’s spending splurge may push soccer clubs towards bankruptcy. Perez who has the credit of bringing top notch stars like Zidane and Figo to Real, made it public that the club has a budget of 422 million euros in the upcoming season.
