Former Real Madrid president, Ramon Calderon, has claimed that both Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale could quit the club this summer.
The pair have been heavily linked with Manchester United, but on Thursday, Spanish newspaper Marca, reported that Bale’s representatives have opened talks over a new deal.
Ronaldo on his part, has remained coy on his future plans, with speculation that he could move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Calderon, who was president between 2006 and 2009, said: “I get the impression that everything is possible for Ronaldo and Bale.
“Both players have said nothing about what they will do at the end of this season, and that is because they want to wait and see what is happening at Real Madrid.
“The top players in the world always have the option to move to Manchester City or United, to Paris Saint-Germain, to Bayern Munich, maybe Chelsea as well. These are the only clubs that could sign Ronaldo or Bale.
“United, clearly, are interested in signing both players and while it would be hard to do a deal to sign Ronaldo and Bale in the same summer, it is very possible that one could move to Manchester United. Of course this is possible.”
Calderon also stated that both players would want assurances, before they commit their future to Real Madrid.
“Ronaldo is always keen to get personal recognition for what he has given to Real Madrid,” he added.
“It is important that the club show their respect to him because we all know what he has given since we signed him from Manchester [United] in 2009.
“Bale’s position is now stable after a difficult season last time, and I believe the fans are supporting him again. He has been playing well, with his ongoing injury problems the only concern at this moment.
“The way Real Madrid is run, it’s always to be decided in the summer what happens next. This is true of the coach and the players. For Ronaldo and Bale, it is no different.”
