Real Madrid will open talks with Cristiano Ronaldo once he has decided where he wants to play next season. (BBC Sport 23rd June 2008)The 23-year-old Ronaldo has said he hopes to "complete his dream" of moving to the Bernabeu, despite Manchester United insisting he is "not for sale".
But Real president Ramon Calderon said: "Once Ronaldo announces his future and once his club accept to sell him then we would have talks. Right now he's a United player - we'll not interfere or create any problems."
Ronaldo has indicated he will make a public statement about his plans over the next few days, though the European champions have always insisted they would not listen to any offers for the Portugal winger.
Ronaldo is under contract with another team and we cannot think about him but focus on the players we have," said a club statement on Friday.
After Portugal's exit from Euro 2008, Ronaldo signalled his intention to "take advantage of a great opportunity" with the Spanish champions. "Everybody knows what I want but things don't only depend on me," he said. "I am not the person who decides but I hope to complete my dream."
Ronaldo said he had made the decision to leave United for Real before the Champions League final and revealed former Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, who is set to become Chelsea's new manager, advised him to make the move.
Ronaldo has insisted he is not worried about upsetting United manager Sir Alex Ferguson by his desire to move to Madrid.
"It is my opinion," added Ronaldo. "That is why I don't mind if people get upset. It is my decision. It is what I want."
The midfielder was in scintillating form throughout the domestic season and scored 42 goals as United clinched a Premier League and Champions League double.
