Real: Ronaldo going nowhere

Real: Ronaldo going nowhere

Real Madrid general manager Jorge Valdano has quashed any suggestion that Cristiano Ronaldo could be sold to AC Milan.

The Italian club's owner, and the country's prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, has admitted that he dreams of taking the world's most expensive player to the San Siro.

But Valdano has echoed Real's market consultant, Ernesto Bronzetti, in ruling out the possibility of selling Ronaldo just two years after paying Manchester United £80million.

"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.

"I can say to Berlusconi that this is not the right time to buy him."
