The former Manchester United player will put the finishing touches to his move on Monday night when he is officially unveiled as the Spanish giants' latest signing.

"I think it's a fair price," Ronaldo told sports daily Marca. "If Manchester and Real reached agreement on this figure there's nothing to add. The top footballers cost a lot and if you want them you have to pay. I'm happy to be the most expensive player in the world."

Real Madrid signed Ronaldo on a six-year deal worth 94 million euros where he is believed to be going to earn 13 million euros a year, becoming the world's highest-paid footballer.

The 2008 world player of the year will be presented on Monday at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium with an estimated 80,000 fans expected to attend.
