Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants 'Real' move.

Real Madrid talisman, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly fed up with his club and could move back to England, either to his former club, Manchester United or Manchester City, former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon claims .

According to the latter, CR7 who moved from Old Trafford Manchester for £80 million in 2009 is dissatisfied with Real Madrid’s current policy, then Xabi Alonso and Angel Di Maria’s exit also didn’t help matters.

“My impression is he is fed up with the policy of the current president. When he came to Real Madrid with Arjen Robben he thought he would be a good colleague for him in the team but then Robben was sold. Two years ago it was Gonzalo Higuain sold and he didn’t like that. Last year he thought it was a mistake to let Mesut Ozil leave and the last straw was selling Xabi Alonso and Angel Di Maria this summer.” Calderon told Talksport.

Forget It!- Jose Mourinho dismisses reports that Cristiano Ronaldo is joining Chelsea.

Albeit nothing is impossible in football but not like Cristiano Ronaldo joining Chelsea. What for? Trust me, the 29 year -old would rather re-unite with his former club than “face” his former boss again.

When asked if The Blues are really planning a surprise move for the 2013 Ballon D’or winner, Jose Mourinho wouldn’t waste much words. “Forget It” was all he uttered.

Cristiano Ronaldo reveals the only coach he has friendship with.

I know it can never be Jose Mourinho, his relationship with his fellow country man during the latter’s reign at the Bernabeu was a disaster, dunno if it has remained so.

Newly-crowned UEFA Best Player in Europe, Cristiano Ronalso has worked under a number of coaches in his career; former Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini and renowned Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari, but he’s friend with just one of these- Sir Alex Ferguson.

Excerpts from his interview with Spanish publication AS. “Out of all the coaches I worked under, the only friendship I have is with Sir Alex Ferguson – no one else… I worked under Pellegrini and Ancelotti, with whom I get along really well. I’m not in football to make friends, only to triumph.”

Cristiano Ronaldo on his relationship with Lionel Messi, "Our rivalry is good."

Both are world’s greatest footballers, break and create new records every now and then and have so much in common as far as soccer is concerned but really most people are interested in knowing the kind of relationship they have outside football.
Like, what they say when they run into to each other in a shopping mall (don’t think their paths cross that much), do they ever hang out (we know that’s not possible), exchange emails etc. Spanish newspaper, Marca caught up with the Cristiano Ronaldo and here’s what he said about his rivalry with his nemesis, Lionel Messi.

“It’s not at all true that we have a bad relationship. We are colleagues and have a professional relationship. We don’t have a relationship outside of football like I have with some other players. He tries to do his best for his club and national team and I do the same. There is a certain rivalry where we are each doing our utmost for our teams.

“This rivalry is part of my life. It is only normal that people compare us. The same happens in Formula 1 with Ferrari and Mercedes. I’m used to it. This has been the case not only since I joined Madrid, but already when I was still at Manchester United. I hope that we can both laugh about all this. Football is a game, it’s something fun and something we both like. We must face this rivalry in a positive way because it is a good thing. Football is something beautiful that all the fans enjoy.”

Cristiano Ronaldo wins Goal 50. Enyeama the only Nigerian in the list

Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Goal 50 award for the world’s best footballer
after a record-breaking season. The Portuguese forward claims the trophy from digital football brand Goal.com for the third time.
Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama was also named in the list and finished in 27th spot after impressive performances with Lille and the Super Eagles in the last season. Enyeama helped the reigning African champions to the second round of the World Cup where he kept two clean sheets. His heroics with Lille saw him go 1062 minutes without conceding a goal in the 2013/13 Ligue 1 season.
The Goal 50 title – presented by the world’s biggest single-sport website – is in recognition of a magnificent campaign during which Ronaldo led his club to a long-awaited 10th Champions League crown.
Ronaldo, 29, who also claimed the Copa del Rey, struck 51 goals in all competitions for club and country. He shared the European Golden Shoe with Luis Suarez and also picked up the 2013 Fifa Ballon d’Or.
“It’s a very big honour for me to have been chosen as the best player,” Ronaldo told Goal at the trophy presentation held at Real Madrid’s
pre-season training camp in Los Angeles.
“I’m sincerely grateful for this award. I also want to thank the fans for their support and for their passion for the game, which is what makes this sport so fascinating throughout the world.”
The Goal 50 is regarded as one of the most credible and respected awards in sport, chosen by over 600 Goal journalists, covering 35 editions around the world to a global audience of over 64 million users.
Voting takes place at the end of domestic and international seasons for the majority of countries. Ronaldo heads this year’s list in front of second-placed Arjen Robben, who starred for Netherlands at the World Cup and helped Bayern to four trophies in 2013-14. Last year’s winner Lionel Messi finished third after another prolific season for club and country.

The Goal 50 has a track record of identifying many of the future stars of
the game. Youngsters James Rodriguez and Thibaut Courtois featured in the
2013 list, and this year both made it into the top 10.
Commenting on the results, Graham Shaw, Goal’s Editorial Director, said:
“Goal 50 gives a truly global view on the players who have lit up an epic
season. Congratulations to Cristiano Ronaldo who fully deserves to top this
year’s list after a sensational campaign.”
