Real Madrid defender Pepe insists Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo is still keen on a move to the Spanish giants.
Pepe wanted his Portugal team-mate to join him at Los Merengues in the summer and Ronaldo admitted he was interested in a move.
But now Ronaldo has insisted he is happy at United and wants to stay at the club.
“Cristiano said he has a desire to come to Madrid, but things did not turn out well,†Pepe told Onda Cero.
“It’s caused me great trouble, and I believe it’s the same for him too. For me it is always better to have Cristiano on your team.
“He wanted to come this year. He likes Real Madrid, wants to live in this city and it is a club he has always dreamed of playing at.â€Â

Wow, way to mislead the reader with this title of the article. It should say “Pepe wants Ronaldo at Madrid” or something along those lines.
January 24, 2009
I am seriously beginnin to think if pepe has a crush on pretty boy ronaldo or something. Almost every week this bald head will comment on ronaldo bein wanted and coaxin him to come to madrid.Sheeesh.Chill down chum..move on..ask a girl out instead of bein obssesd wid ronaldo
February 1, 2009
ur right anthony, baldie should do a girl if you no what i mean an stop obsessin over ronaldo, cuz ronny aint gonna be leavin MU any time soon.
February 2, 2009
Honestly, though, i caint beleve that real still wants to steal ronny from MU where he is so happy at. Somebody should go write a letter to real threatenin explosive attacks on them if they force ronny to sign a contract with… as a matter of fact i should do that now!
February 4, 2009
I don’t know why everyone keep talk against real.they want RONALDO and i think they should get him.
February 8, 2009
fuck u mikel obi… ronaldo NO LONGER wants to jion real, havent u heard? Ronaldo said weeks ago that heis stain where is, and thats the way it should be… and only fergie can decide whether or not to sell the world’s current pele on sterroids, without the sterriods.it aint if real wants ronny that means their gonna get im.
February 9, 2009
comparing pele to ronaldo is an insult to pele.
February 10, 2009
damn u butt in to much. im just sayin that the way pele played is ALMOST being completely replayed in CR. go back to nou camp fascist.
February 14, 2009
and you always have something to say huh?
you and this fascism. its weird…
February 14, 2009
hey dont have a go at the nicknames i make for people, i do it cuz its fun.
im only sayin ronaldo is the closest person to bein todays pele but no one will ever be BETTER than O Rei, i shudder at the thought of it.
February 15, 2009
i dont know why u like to jump on what i say gareth. cant u just leave somebody in peace and say what they wanna say. after all, its a free cuntry.
i also dont know why u think i was sayin ronaldo is better than pele, and no one will ever be better than the beautiful game’s grand master, though ronaldo has gotten closer than anyone has ever been able to get
February 17, 2009
why is it that all MU players join madrid when they leave.is there sumthing behind that?
February 18, 2009
All as in… two?
February 20, 2009
need to make more sense baka.
still, all the same, ruud van nistleroy left MU for RM.
but ronaldo who is the modern football worlds closest person to bein another PELE O RIE, should stay with MU, rather than leave. his football is better suited 4 MU.
February 20, 2009
Sir Fergie, thnks 4 utd. Pls dnt let ronaldo go. He’s very important in the squad. We all as fans lùv ronaldo even when he doesnt play so well. He plays a big part in our team. Tell all united playas that i luv them. 4rm a 14yr old nigerian footballer who is willing 2 assist utd achieve more in d future if given the chance. I luv ya all.
February 21, 2009
miracle.. u a MU fan 2? hope to see u at Old trafford in a couple of years…. if only thier scout would come over to the US.
even when ronaldo aint as good as he promises to be( yet he has fufilled that promise 2 mane times to count) me and a couple of other friends who support MU ( since part of their families came from Manchestr and supported the Red Devils, like me) all love him, and it is in our hearts for him to stay at Ole Trafford.
Long live Ronaldo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey thats catchy…..
February 21, 2009
I think Brad Lovell is crasy because Ronaldo is a pofessional player and he can decide whatever he likes,because when Robinho said he wants to leave Real Madrid nobody goes against him simply because his heart is no more at Real Madrid and they let go of him,i do not know why Alex Ferguson is acting like a coach who depends on a single player,that mentality is very bad but to Brad,i think he should go and learn more about football.
February 22, 2009
I’m an experianced football fan wasbell, and football player…
ronaldo did admit that he wanted to go to RM, back in summer. but now hes said he wants to say.
fergie doesnt depend on just ronaldo the great ( hey thats also catchy).
he also depends on rooney and giggs and van der sar and tevez and now berbatov.
robinho may have no longer wanted to be at RM, but he didnt go where his heart wanted to go ( Chelsea). he got caught up with Man City. that proves u cant always go where u wanna.
yeah i need to learn a thing or 2 about the beautiful game, but i know loads more than even some of the older footie fans oer here in the US.
