Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has raised the
prospect of Cristiano Ronaldo following Jose Mourinho to Chelsea...
after dismissing
Manchester United's chances of re-signing the Portuguese star.
Ronaldo, aged 27, is at the centre of a £80m bidding war after growing disillusioned with life in the Spanish capital.
When asked whether the Portugal flyer was happy at Real Madrid, Calderon told talkSPORT: 'Ronaldo said he was sad at the beginning of the season. I think the relationship with the current president is not a good one, maybe because the president doesn’t like the players he inherited.
Wanted: Mourinho hopes to bring Ronaldo with him from Real Madrid to Chelsea this summer
One of the best: Ronaldo has scored 55 goals this season for Real Madrid
There are not many teams that could afford to pay him what he
deserves and who can pay Real Madrid what they are asking for. There are
three clubs - Manchester City, PSG and Chelsea. I don’t think any other
club is going to pay that amount of money for a player.
They [Real] are going to negotiate the contract now and they will make a decision. It’s something we will know in a few weeks
United have first option to sign Ronaldo if Real decide to sell and the Portugal star favours a return to Old Trafford.
But Mourinho, with whom he has worked at the Bernabeu for the past three years, has added him to his list of premium targets.
Wayne Rooney, who would prefer to move to Chelsea, and Napoli striker Edinson Cavani are also wanted by Mourinho.

Spending spree: Abramovich is set to give Mourinho £100m to spend this summer
Ronaldo has spent four seasons at Real Madrid but has become frustrated by the lack of harmony at the club.
Although Mourinho is unlikely to be able to persuade all three forwards to move to Chelsea, the club intend to move swiftly this summer.
Mourinho’s relationship with Ronaldo was under scrutiny last weekend when the forward appeared to shout ‘**** you’ at his coach after scoring his 200th goal for Real.
Ronaldo spoke in Portuguese when he pointed to the Real club badge and shouted ‘I’m here, I’m here’ in front of Mourinho as the coach prepares to quit Spain after three years in charge of the world’s biggest football club.
