Calderon: £80m too much for Ronaldo

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has dismissed suggestions the Spanish champions would be willing to spend £80m on Cristiano Ronaldo.

Speculation has been rife that Madrid would smash their own world-record transfer fee – set when they splashed £46m on Zinedine Zidane in 2001 – by offering Manchester United in the region of 100 million euros for Ronaldo if the Red Devils decided to cash in on their prize asset.
