Sheikh wants to celebrate Liverpool takeover with Ronaldo signing -tribalfooball.com - January 18, 2007
Unsettled Real Madrid striker Ronaldo is being linked with a shock move to Liverpool.
DiarioSport says Ronaldo, who is desperate to quit Real, is a favourite of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, whose company, Dubai International Capital, is on the verge of completing a £450 million takeover of Liverpool.
Sheikh Mohammed wants to celebrate the buy-out by delivering Ronaldo to Liverpool fans before the end of this month's market. With the Brazilian not Cup-tied from the Champions League, DIC chiefs are convinced Ronaldo's signing would boost the club's last chance of winning a trophy this season.

Too "heavy-weight" for Liverpool la .... too fat to be precised ...
