MADRID — Real Madrid’s general manager, Jorge Valdano, said Wednesday there was absolutely no chance its superstar forward Cristiano Ronaldo would be allowed to move to AC Milan.
Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister and owner of the Serie A leaders, has spoken of how he “dreams” of bringing the Portuguese star to Italy.
But Valdano ruled out the possibility of selling Ronaldo, just two years after the Spanish giants paid EPL side Manchester United a world-record $130 million (£80million) for the player.
“It is nice to know that a president like Berlusconi and a club like AC Milan dream of our players,” Valdano told Sky Sport Italia. “But I can say that Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely remain with us. He’s happy here so the discussion is closed.”
Valdano added, “I can say to Berlusconi that this is not the right time to buy him.”
