"The most probable outcome as of today is that Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to play for Manchester United next year," said Calderon. "Theoretically we still have time, there are still two months left until the end of August."Calderon also said that Real's attempts to sign Ronaldo had hit an impasse due to United's reluctance to sell. "We have not had any discussions with Ronaldo because United said they don't want to sell and we don't want to be disrespectful to them," Calderon told BBC World Service Sport. "I wouldn't like to interfere in a relationship between player and club."
Real are yet to make an official bid for the forward, who scored 42 goals for his United last season as they won a Premier League and Champions League double. The Spanish giants are rumoured to be preparing a package to bring Ronaldo to the Bernabeu, but Calderon has said that Real will not go against United's wishes.
"I have heard that he has said many times that he would like to go to Madrid and it is his dream," he said. "But we can't say any more as it could be misinterpreted and we wouldn't like to upset Manchester. I don't know if he will play for Real Madrid next season. We will only do what Manchester United want to do with the player."
