Real boss would jump at chance to sign Ronaldo

Real Madrid would jump at the chance to sign Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, the Spanish club's president Ramon Calderon said on Sunday.

“If one day he decides to leave, Real Madrid will be there to try and recruit him,” Calderon told sports daily Marca.

“Cristiano is one of these men that we always want to have but I don't want to fuel false hope.

“Manchester are not selling and don't want to sell. In there situations the decision is always down to the player.”

Calderon added that everything was in place for Real to celebrate winning the Spanish league title on Sunday.

Barcelona's 2-0 loss to Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday means that Real can be crowned champions if they beat Athletic Bilbao at home and if Villarreal fail to win at Real Betis.
