Real 'first in line' for Ronaldo - Calderon
Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon admits the Spanish giants would be interested in signing Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo if he became available – but not at any price.
Madrid have been linked with a move for the Portuguese international since last summer, but United are keen to keep hold of the 22-year-old and are currently in negotiations to extend his contract until 2012.
Calderon has confirmed he is an admirer of the winger, but acknowledged that he was not currently on the market.
He also said he will not be breaking the bank to bring either him or AC Milan ace Kaka – another reported target of Madrid’s – to the Bernabeu
“We like Cristiano, but right now he is a Manchester United player. But if the English team want to sell him, we would be first in line for him,” Calderon told Spanish television station Antena 3.
“But we will not pay crazy money. A footballer is not worth €80m.”
