The president of Real Madrid, Ramon Calderon, stated yesterday that the club is no longer interested in pursuing Manchester United attacking midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 23 year old is ranked as one of the world’s best players and had been the top of Real’s transfer targets, however Ferguson kept the player and Calderon has insisted that Real’s interest has faded:
“It is forgotten, not only for January but forever…We would only talk about it if Manchester decide they want to sell him. But the matter is over.”
“We talked about it last season. Manchester decided not to sell the player and we don’t want to do anything against a club like Manchester.
“The player decided to stay in Manchester and we accept it. Madrid is not doing anything to disturb a ‘friend club’ like Manchester.
“We are two very big clubs. We want to be good friends forever. We are in the same market.
“I have a lot of respect for Manchester. I have a good relationship with David Gill and I want it to be like that for a long time.”
Ronaldo has always stated that it is his dream to play for Real, however the chance of that dream coming true now appears extremely slim.
