...or so Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon would have you believe after Ronaldo's ambiguous comment to a Spanish journalist when asked if he would leave Manchester United for Madrid. Ronaldo said: "Let's see what happens after the Champions League final.''
But this story comes up every year and like past seasons I think it's fair to say we can dismiss it as Calderon stirring the media pot and Ronaldo making ill-advised but innocent remarks. The fact remains that although the United star is under contract (not that that means much these days) United wouldn't sell him for anything less than a record fee surely too much even for Madrid. Second, there's simply no one out there to replace Ronaldo so why sell him for any kind of money, you wouldn't be able to buy anyone to fill the void he'd leave (namely 30-plus goals a season).
It's a story that will get United fans anxious, but it'll be the same next year too after Ronaldo has another exceptional year at Old Trafford.
