Fergie Unmoved By Ronaldo Reports

Tue 13 Jan, 05:09 PM


Sir Alex Ferguson is "unfazed" by the latest reports linking Cristiano Ronaldo with Real Madrid.

Respected Spanish journalist Guillem Balague claims Ronaldo has agreed a deal with Ramon Calderon to join Real in the summer.

Balague claims on his website that Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes have struck a deal with Calderon and not with Florentino Perez, the former Real Madrid president.

But Ferguson is so unmoved he barely felt it was worth a cursory response.

"We expected January to be like this," he said.

"We are not fazed by it now; we just have to accept it happens."

But Balague - and Spanish newspaper AS - say the newly-crowned FIFA World Player of the Year has agreed in principle to go to Madrid in the summer and may request a transfer from Manchester United.

The journalist admits, though, that 'In spite of Ronaldo's agreement with Ramon Calderon, the refusal of Sir Alex Ferguson to sell his best player remains a significant obstacle to the transfer to Madrid going ahead. And, if United refuse to sell, then the secret agreement with Calderon remains nothing more than that.'
