Real Madrid are willing to play the waiting game in their pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Manchester United winger has in recent days maintained his stance of not revealing where he wants to play next season until after Euro 2008.
Although United are adamant the Portugal international is not for sale, and have reported Madrid to FIFA over their public courtship of the 23-year-old, the player is keeping all parties guessing over his future.
Madrid director general of the presidency Miguel Angel Arroyo claims the Spanish giants are happy to sit back and see what transpires.
Angel Arroyo told Spanish daily Marca: "We are waiting for Ronaldo to say something, and as soon as he says he wants to play for Real Madrid, there will be conversations between the two clubs.
"We would willingly reach an agreement with Manchester United if it is possible, if they want to sell and if the price was affordable."
Madrid coach Bernd Schuster added on Cope radio station: "We are left hanging on a little because of what is happening in the European Championships.
"At the moment, there is a lot of speculation, but that is normal."

i am trying to update my fifa 2008 playstation 2 cd with the latest tranfers but it has not been easy because of players like ronaldo who are afraid to decide on their future.
i think ronaldo is old enough and should behave marturely.if it is money he wants,let him go to real and if he wants not only to keep a good reputation but also to take more titles for himself,i recommend manutd.
Its Marketing and money thats all Real desperate to increase there profile. Ronaldo is just a marketing tool they couldnt realy care about how he plays. Its a sad state of afairs for a once great club.
It seems clear to me from general conversation and articales people have lost respect for both Real and Ronaldo.
Ron is not spectacular, he is not gonna shine in Real
Whats this @#$% all about,im an Arsenal fan but i think someone need to put a stop this @#$% Madrid,Ac milan,Barcelona and host of others club do about poaching playes away when they are at their prime.I will be disappointed if United allow Ranoldo leaves because i hate the ways these clubs method of unsettling players without any respect to their current employers.We all know that Marca news paper is the tool which Madrid always use to carry out this unproffesional attitude.Someone should talk to Ronaldo to think about football because madrid will use you and dumped you.They have lond history of taking aways players at their prime use them for the comercial purpose only and dumped them when the players need them most.The same thing with Hleb his agent is pushing him around,im sure he wil regret moving away from Emirates look at what is happening to Etoo you better stay where you will be forever appreciated.....
