The Portugal legend famously
moved from the Blaugrana to Real Madrid in 2000 and
he now feels the recently crowned
Best Player in Europe could do the opposite
Luis Figo insists Barcelona
could sign Cristiano Ronaldo if the Real Madrid superstar's release clause is
triggered.

crossed the Clasico divide in 2000 when Real Madrid
paid his £37.2m buyout
clause, then a world record fee for a player, and underlines how

Best Player for a second
time, reportedly has a buyout clause in his Madrid contract
worth €1.5 billion [£1.25bn]
and Figo does not believe a possible switch to Barcelona is
off the cards for his
compatriot.

added: "The first reason was for Real was the recognition by the president
of Real Madrid. So things were getting more serious and I received the offer and
I reported it [to Barcelona] with a view toimproving my contract."
