Interestingly Ferguson sais at the weekend that Ronaldo will be with us NEXT SEASON.
All has gone quiet at Madrid, Ronaldo now seemingly has nothing to say and United confidently announce his staying for next season.
All smacks of a deal to me and Ronaldo will be on his way next summer. This doesn't seem much different to me to what we probably thrashed out with Berba last summer.
if i'm right I wonder if United fans will then herald their club as a "selling one or Real's feeder".
the bottom line is all clubs are forced to sell players from time to time, with the possible exception of madrid who are without doubt the most glamorous club in the world. Deep down even poor old Fergie and utd fans know that.
You spoke too soon. This was on the BBC tonight.
Calderon still chasing Ronaldo
2 hours ago
Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon is adamant Cristiano Ronaldo remains his club's number one transfer target despite Manchester United's insistence that the Portugal star will not be sold.
Sir Alex Ferguson met Ronaldo for clear-the-air talks on Monday and claimed on Friday that there was no chance he would be quitting United for Spain.
However, Calderon believes Ferguson's optimism is little more than a ruse to get more money out of the Primera Liga giants who are reportedly willing to pay no more than 85million euros.
"This type (of transfer) is hard," he told Spanish media, when asked about Ferguson's comments. "But we're going to go for it all the same.
"I suppose it's all about a manner of theirs to let us know clearly that they're not going to lower the price in any way and that if we want him we have to pay a lot more money."
Madrid chiefs are said to be convinced the winger - who is currently recovering from ankle surgery - will join them before the beginning of the season.
When asked about Ronaldo by the Madrid players on their first day of pre-season training, Calderon reportedly reassured them with the words "Don't worry, we have it all sorted."
