Real won't give up on Ronaldo

Real Madrid sporting director Predrag Mijatovic has stated that the club will never give up on trying to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.

Portuguese winger has established himself as one of the best players in the world over the last two years and only looks like going from strength to strength.

There have been reports emanating from Spain that the Spanish champions could offer a world record-breaking £50 million in an attempt to secure his services.

For a club with the financial strength of Manchester United, such money, though obviously valuable, is of no necessity. It is highly unlikely the player would be coaxed away for any fee unless it was he who decided to leave.

Though he has on several occasions expressed his desire to play in Spain 'someday', he very much appears dedicated to English champions Manchester United for the moment.

Pedja Mijatovic is realistic regarding Ronaldo's situation, but The Sun reports that Real Madrid will always be on standby, waiting for the star man to become in any way available.

“Ronaldo is an exceptional footballer and, although we know signing a player like that is very complicated, we will just have to keep working on it," he said.

“If one day a chance opens up, then we will be there trying to sign him. He’d grace any team in the world.”

Ronaldo has scored an astonishing 22 goals in 25 appearances so far this season.
