Sir Alex Ferguson Preferred Cristiano Ronaldo to Play with Barcelona

DBasia.news –  Cristiano Ronaldo has won many titles with Real Madrid as four times won the Champions League and four times won the Ballon d’Or. However, according to former president of Los Blancos, Ramon Calderon revealed that in fact Sir Alex Ferguson preferred Ronaldo to play with Barcelona.

According to Ramon Calderon, Cristiano Ronaldo was offered by Sir Alex Ferguson to Barcelona. Because, he did not like the Portuguese player to join Real Madrid. Luckily for Los Blancos, CR7 did not renege on the pre-contract agreement that was made.

“It is no secret, attempts to recruit him have been made between 2007 and 2008. It was I who hooked him up. Negotiations with Manchester United were tough because they did not want to lose the player. However, he did not want to betray the commitment he had made with me,” Ramon Calderon said as quoted from Diario AS.

Calderon insisted, Cristiano Ronaldo from the beginning wanted to join Real Madrid. It is inseparable from the offer offered. However, efforts to recruit the player hampered Sir Alex Ferguson’s attitude.

“In fact, Ferguson doesn’t want the player to leave because we are rivals and have more trophy collections. Ferguson also offered him to Barcelona,” he added.

Of course Sir Alex Ferguson’s move made Barcelona excited. However, Ramon Calderon and Real Madrid have won one step. The initial agreement that was accompanied by a clause made Cristiano Ronaldo finally landed at the Santiago Bernabeu.

“Barcelona of course are happy with the opportunity, but Cristiano Ronaldo is clear about his future. He said he had signed a commitment with Ramon Calderon to join Real Madrid and would not betray him. That’s it,” shared the 68 years old man.

As a lawyer, Ramon Calderon knows very well how to secure Cristiano Ronaldo. “We signed a document. There is a clause that states, if one party reneges on an agreement, it must pay 30 million euros to the other party,” he concluded.
