The Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has opened up old wounds again, or else he is just taunting Manchester United by reopening the Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga. Schuster has revealed his hope that Ronaldo will be a Madrid player next season following his club's failure to land the Portugal international during a summer tug-of-war with Ronaldo in the middle.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson successfully persuaded the winger that his future remained in England despite Ronaldo himself responding to the public courtship of Madrid by admitting he was keen to move to Spain. Ferguson has already spoken of his belief the Spanish giants will renew their interest in the former Sporting Lisbon starlet next summer.
However, Schuster has not only confirmed his side's interest, but claims it is likely that Ronaldo will finally become a Madrid player before the next season gets underway.
"I think that next year it is going to be a little more complicated for his club to retain him," he said. There is hope that next year he could be with us. You need to do everything possible because this player is worth it. Since the start I thought it was possible to sign him although difficult - possible because the player really showed an interest. His class, his position on the right wing and in other areas of the pitch, his work in attack, he would have been an important signing."
Surely Schuster realises that no matter how big Real Madrid consider themselves, Ronaldo is NOT for sale until Fergie says so !! Back To Home Page>
