According to Sport, Calderon is willing to emulate what Florentino Perez when he broke the world record transfer fee by signing Zinedine Zidane from Juventus in 2001.
Real have been after Cristiano Ronaldo for quite some time and having failed to land Kaka and Cesc Fabregas in previous attempts, Calderon is ready to stop at nothing in order to take Ronaldo from the Theatre of Dreams and bring him to the Bernabeu.
Reports in Spain have revealed that Los Merengues will be receiving bigger TV rights income and that the chief is not scared to spend the cash.
Ronaldo earns €13m per season at United and his current deal expires in 2014. Calderon is interested but he said, “I do not want to make promises which cannot be kept but we are the richest club in the world.”
When Calderon was elected president he made a promise that he would sign some great players such as Ronaldo and Kaka but it hasn’t happened just yet.
One thing is for sure and that is Calderon would not be afraid to splash the cash, especially on the United star, who has set the world on fire this season with some brilliant individual displays.
