Now Ron's mum turn to join the wayang show:
CRISTIANO RONALDO'S mum
insists her son will
NOT leave Manchester United.
6 June 2008
The Portuguese ace is a £75million target for Real Madrid
and yesterday revealed he wants to join the Spanish giants.
But Ronaldo's mother Dolores Aveiro claims the winger will
stay in England this summer.
She told Portuguese TV: "He is fine where he is.
"The future only God knows but what is sure is that he is
going to continue in England."
Real president Ramon Calderon has fuelled speculation of a
record-breaking swoop for Ronaldo by revealing he is delighted the
star wants a move to Spain.
He said: "For Madrid it is an honour to know that a player
like him thinks that playing at Real Madrid would be good.
"We are proud to know that he would like to be with
us."
United are fuming with Real's constant public pursuit of
Ronaldo.
The Old Trafford club are considering reporting the La
Liga champions to FIFA if they continue.
But sports lawyer Mel Goldberg believes United's claim
would be pointless as Real would not be punished.
He said: "If Real Madrid are reported to FIFA, they will
probably get a rap on the knuckles.
"I don't know whether they would be expelled from the
Champions League or whether they would be deducted points in the
league.
"What FIFA would probably say is you cannot keep a player
against his will if he is not happy and wants to go elsewhere.
"They would give some minor castigation and the deal would
go through."
Goldberg also thinks United boss Alex Ferguson's threat to
make Ronaldo rot in the reserves is unlikely to happen.
He added: "He is under contract and Manchester United can
keep him.
"There have already been suggestions they would put him in
the reserves and leave him there for a couple of years until his
contract runs down.
"But that's not good for United, it's not good for
Cristiano Ronaldo and it's not good for the bank balance in as much
as in two years' time, he could move for nothing."
