Ramon Calderon has grudgingly admitted that there is little point in Real Madrid trying to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo has announced that he will decide on his future over the next few days after being strongly linked with a move to the Bernabeu.
However, Manchester United have insisted that he will not be sold this summer and have threatened to go to Fifa over Real's public pursuit of the Portuguese winger. Calderon has now stated that he does not want to continue to lift the supporters' hopes when the chances of landing Ronaldo appear very slim.
The Real Madrid president has also stressed that his side would be able to cope if they failed to prise Ronaldo away from Old Trafford. "We would like to have a player like Cristiano, but if he does not sign for us then it would not be a major problem," Calderon told Marca.
"The club has said that they do not want to sell him and we cannot keep going back. "One has to know when to stop these things in order to avoid the frustration that the fans could feel. "His club have to want to and if they want to negotiate with Madrid or any other club then they will."
