Ramon Calderon on Ronaldo: “We’ll NEVER pay £80million for one player.”

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has decided to put an end to some of the crazy speculation going on about their pursuit for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Calderon denied that Real would crush the current transfer world record by saying: “We’ll NEVER pay £80million for one player.”

He said: “We are very happy with the declaration of the player. But it does not depend on him, it depends on United.

“There is no issue with Ronaldo but they don’t want to sell. The English club have to make the first step. United have the last word.”

Earlier comments from Real boss Bernd Schuster set off a large amount of speculation when he said Real would pay “whatever it takes” to get Ronaldo.
