Calderon: Transfer plans

Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon claims that if he fails to land Cristiano Ronaldo he will not attempt to make any other signings this summer.

Calderon is eager to prise Ronaldo away from Manchester United and Real manager Bernd Schuster recently aired his concerns over his club's obsession with the Portuguese winger.

Schuster said on Tuesday morning that he would be just as happy to sign Hamburg star Rafael van der Vaart as he would Ronaldo.

However, Calderon appears to have ruled out the possibility of Van der Vaart arriving at the Bernabeu.

"Either Cristiano Ronaldo comes or nobody does," Calderon is quoted as saying in Marca.

The news could come as a major blow to Schuster, who is eager to strengthen his squad as Real prepare to defend their Primera Liga title and eye success in the UEFA Champions League.
