Real reveal Ronaldo interest

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has admitted he would be interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo but will not pay over the odds for the Manchester United winger.
The Portugal international has been linked with a summer move to Real or Spanish rivals Barcelona.
United are keen to keep hold of the 22-year-old wideman and have already opened negations on extending his contract at Old Trafford which doesn't expire until 2010.
"We like Cristiano, but right now he is a Manchester United player," Calderon told Spanish television station Antena 3.
"But if the English team want to sell him, we would be first in line for him," Calderon
"But we will not pay crazy money. A footballer is not worth 80million euros."
Meanwhile, Ronaldo is a major doubt for Portugal's Euro 2008 qualifier against Serbia on Wednesday after picking up a foot injury in training.
"At this time we don't know if he (Ronaldo) will play," admitted Portugal team spokesman Onofre Costa.
"He sprained his heel. It doesn't look very serious but we are not sure if he will be fit."
