Madrid's vice president Emilio Butragueno, unlike other team leaders before, insists that Ronaldo and Raul will not leave this summer.
Rumors have been circulating for a long time that Ronaldo, who is planning a radical renovation in the Spanish capital's team, will have no place, is vehemently criticized. The Brazilian himself also said that he is not completely satisfied with the fanatics who criticize him and will consider the possibility of leaving after the season. Immediately there were reports that clubs like AC Milan could buy the Brazilian.
Raul, who is viewed differently - the departure of the Spanish symbol from Real was skeptically viewed by other representatives of Real.
Speaking about the rumors that Inter is interested in Raul, E. Butragueno said: "Nobody has contacted us and Raul is an example for everyone. Lately he has been criticized, but it's important to understand that he rushed his injury treatment wanting to help the team.
"He needs time to reach the appropriate level. This is not all he's capable of. Raul's spirit and determination to overcome obstacles are unique qualities that we need."
Regarding Ronaldo, he is one of the best forwards on the planet and has a contract with Real for another two years. There's no need to talk more about it."
Midway through this season, Madrid also acquired forward Antonio Cassano, who was supposed to replace the injured Raul. Despite this, the heavily temperament character renowned Italian forward has so far failed to establish himself at the Madrid team.
"Cassano is talented, but we expect more from him," - Butragueno affirmed. - We acquired him thinking that Raul would need surgery. He didn't play much, but when he had the opportunity to show up on the field, he didn't disappoint. Whether Cassano is fit to play is decided by the coaches."
