Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon admits a deal for Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo is now unlikely.

"We can't talk about footballers who aren't ours," he told Spanish television channel Atena 3. "I've already said several times that we have a very complete squad, who have just won the Primera Liga.

"We built a great team last year. If we finally make some signings, they would be few but very good."

The Real chief claimed the Spanish side are mere spectators in the transfer saga which has dominated the summer.

"We don't have anything to say about that issue," he said. "We are only spectators, a passive observer in this whole story.

"It is the player and the club who are talking about a possible problem, we are unconnected to all that."
