Real Madrid president assures Ronaldo: You're staying
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez made a point
of speaking with Ronaldo last Thursday to assure the Brazilian he was part of
the club's long-term plans.
Ronaldo has been linked with Manchester United and a return to Inter Milan this
month, but AS says Perez spoke with the striker last week and told him: "Be calm.
While I am president of Real Madrid you will continue with us. You are very
important to this club and we know that you are key to our future sporting plans.
"Ignore the rumours. After the World Cup in Germany there will be no danger of
your continuity here. I give my word to you."
