Calderon: Real won't match Ron price
Ramon Calderon says Real Madrid will "never" pay £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo - and he expects the winger to stay at Manchester United.

Speculation has been rife that Madrid would smash their own world-record transfer fee - set when they splashed £46million on Zinedine Zidane in 2001 - by offering in the region of 100 million euros for Ronaldo if the Red Devils decided to cash in on their prize asset.

However, speaking just days after Bernd Schuster urged the club to "pay what is necessary" to take Ronaldo to the Bernabeu, Real president Calderon insists they will not break the bank for any player.

When asked about Ronaldo, Calderon said in remarks reported by Marca: "There is no 'Cristiano Ronaldo case' because Manchester (United) do not want to sell.

"In any case, Real Madrid will never pay 100 million euros for anybody."

United, who recently reported the Primera Liga champions to FIFA over what they considered to be attempts to unsettle the player, have stated that the Portugal international is not for sale.
