Real have already issued an official statement denying the reports, but Ronaldo was circumspect when asked about the possibility yesterday: "I have nothing to say, I am at Real Madrid and I am very happy.

"If the club thinks about selling me then so be it, I won't be unsettled by it. I am waiting for this season to start because I want it to be spectacular.

"I am going away to prepare to my best, I have very many desires and I am super motivated."

Meanwhile, Real president Florentino Perez told close friends at a function yesterday: "To swap Ronaldo for Adriano and also pay ￡35 million? I wouldn't swap Ronaldo for anything in the world."
