Los Merengues' president was introducing the Dutchman to
the crowd of fans inside the Bernabéu when he revealed his feelings
that this would be the only major presentation this
month.
Manchester United have said that they do not expect the Portuguese
star to leave them and now Calderón has publicly stated that he
also thinks that is now true.
"Van der Vaart is the first signing and probably the only one," the
Spanish champions' chief said.
Madrid have made no secret of their desire to sign Ronaldo and
Marca have continued their coverage on a daily basis, with the
paper even stating that the player will not return to Manchester
today (Tuesday).
That news could have sparked controversy until United revealed that
he was not going to go back anyway and would instead travel to see
the surgeon who operated on his ankle.
Ronaldogate has once again overshadowed an event at Madrid and this
time it was the introduction of Van der Vaart as the club's latest
acquisition.
"I am delighted to be able to play for the best team in the world,"
the Dutch international, who has Spanish ancestry and family in
Chiclana, said.
"It is a dream for my family and now I want to win as many trophies
as possible here."
