Perez – No big fish for Real this summer

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez divulged Sunday that the chances of a superstar arrival at the Bernabéu are slim for this off-season.

Los Blancos made headlines the past two summers with the captures of Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane.

"The club's policy is to bring in genuine stars and there aren't many of them about," said Perez to a local daily. "There aren't many players like Figo, Zidane, Raul, Roberto Carlos, Fernando Hierro, Fernando Morientes, Ivan Helguera - The stars are already at Real Madrid and I say that with no arrogance."

"I'm not saying there won't be any signings," he offered. "We're in July and there's still time before September, but we're not going to change the philosophy of the club."

Inter Milan stallion Ronaldo was rumoured to be a target of Real, but Perez insists it was just that; a rumor.

"No one at Real Madrid has made any moves toward signing Ronaldo," he declared. "Ronaldo was four years out of the game and that makes it very difficult to put a value on him."
