Cristiano Ronaldo must have been bored playing bingo in his Austrian hotel room waiting for his next Euro 08 matchup. He’s decided to send the soccer world in tizzy by wearing a look that bludgeons home many messages to Real Madrid and Manchester United, the two teams vying for his services next year. Obviously there’s “pay me,” but also “I am in control of my destiny” and “I have a huge belt buckle.” We believe those are the same tactics used by Warren Buffett when he bought all that Coca-Cola stock in the 80s.

The Portugal star may be caught in a very public tug-of-war between the Barclays Premier League champions and Spanish giants Real Madrid, but Ronaldo clearly has no intention of hiding in the shadows.

Definitely not. After the jump, some more subtle ways Cristiano can get the same idea across to the money men.

• A Singing Telegram of “Money (That’s What I Want)” by The Beatles sent to the Real Madrid and Man U GMs.
• Be seen talking to Roman Abramovich. Sure, he’d never go to Chelsea, but just having Real and Man U see that would make them wet their pants.
• An Indecent Proposal Offer one night with his girlfriend Nereida Gallardo to the GM who signs him for the most. It’s no more whorish than what he’s doing up there.
