Even £120m won't buy Ron - Fergie Monday, January 19, 2009
After seeing Manchester City bid £107 million for Kaka, the United boss ensures his city rivals that Ronaldo is not for sale.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has told his city rivals Manchester City as well as Real Madrid that they will not be able to prise Cristiano Ronaldo from Old Trafford.
Reports suggesting Madrid are ready to make a massive €115 million bid for the Portuguese star have begun to circulate in the world's media once more, but Ferguson is adamant the 23-year-old is not for sale at any price.
City have almost convinced AC Milan to sell their most valuable asset in Kaka after offering £107m for the 26-year-old and if they manage to push that transfer through have their hearts set on other world stars such as Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Ferguson said, "If Kaka is worth £100 million then Ronaldo and Lionel Messi must be worth that, too.
"And as Cristiano has just been named World Player of the Year ahead of those two, you could say he is worth more – £120 million.
"There would be no chance of a deal, and that is the attitude of the owners even more than me.
"Cristiano is fully settled down here now.
"We worked hard to achieve that in the summer and I think he realises that he could only have achieved these individual awards through being a Manchester United player."
