Calderon Admits Defeat?
Real Madrid supremo Ramon Calderon appears to have given up on his bid to lure Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeu - for this summer at least.
May 29, 2008 5:30:32 PM
Manchester United have threatened to bring FIFA into their dispute with Real Madrid over the latter's chase for the Portuguese megastar, which seems to have put an abrupt end to the unwanted - and they would say illegal - advances.
"You can't buy what the owner does not want to sell," Calderon was quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.
"Real Madrid are friends with Manchester United and we do not want to fall out with them."
Ronaldo has been at United for five years, and last season scored a remarkable 42 goals, as well as domestic and European medals and a host of individual accolades.
