The Spanish giants have been at best relentless -at worst
shameless- in their pursuit of the Portuguese phenom over the past
two seasons, which has threatened to make a mortal enemy out of
their English counterparts in the process.
Now, Real's president Ramon Calderon has gone as record as saying
that the only way Ronaldo will be in their shirt is if United
choose to sell him.
"It (a deal for Ronaldo) is not possible," Calderon told Sky Sports
News. "That matter is over.
"We talked about that last season. Manchester decided they did not
want to sell the player and we don't want to do anything against a
friendly club like Manchester.
"We accept that Ronaldo decided to stay at Manchester. It is
forgotten. Not only for January but, I think, for ever.
"Only if Manchester decided to sell will we be talking about it,"
he made sure to add.
"But I would like to say clearly that Madrid is not doing anything
to disturb a nice and friendly club like Manchester.
"That is the final word and we are happy."
