Cristiano Ronaldo has denied having an agreement with
Real Madrid’s presidency candidate Florentino Perez regarding a
future move to the Bernabeu.
Several English and Spanish tabloids have claimed that the
Manchester United star has agreed to join Real if former chairman
Perez is elected again and replaces Ramon Calderon in 2010.
But the man himself has, this time, slammed speculation
regarding his possible record transfer to the Santiago
Bernabeu.
Ahead of the Fifa World Player ceremony in Zurich, Ronaldo
declared: “My agent doesn’t have any agreement with
Florentino.”
Ronaldo, proud to be part of the Fifa World Player shortlist,
has hailed former Portugal boss Luiz Felipe Scolari and United
chief Sir Alex Ferguson as his mentors.
He said: “I owe everything to Scolari and Ferguson. I wouldn’t
be who I am if it wasn’t because of them.”
The Red Devil has also expressed his joy to fly the Premier
League flag during such a prestigious ceremony.
He added; “It’s important for the country [England]. That’s why
I’m very proud to represent The Premier League. And in the case one
of us wins it [Fernando Torres or himself], it’s good news for the
English fans.”
Ronaldo finally declared that he never called himself ‘the
first, second and third best player in the world’.
He explained: “I never said that. Saying that would have been
like a lack of respect to my colleagues.”
