Real chief tells Wimbledon champ Nadal that Cristiano deal is 'done and dusted'

Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal was reportedly told that his beloved Real Madrid has signed Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real president Ramon Calderon, who watched Nadal's thrilling five-set victory over Roger Federer on Centre Court, told the 22-year-old tennis ace that the deal for the Manchester United ace was 'done and dusted'.

It confirms Real are not ending their £70million pursuit of Ronaldo despite the Premier League champions’ insistence they will not sell.

Nadal met Calderon in the grounds of the All England Club on Sunday night and a Spanish-speaking onlooker, according to The Sun, heard him ask: 'OK, president, where’s this Cristiano Ronaldo we’re supposed to be signing?'

The Real chief replied: 'Relax, Rafa, everything’s under control and we’ve got him done and dusted.'

Real are now hoping Ronaldo will bring the saga to an end by publicly saying he intends to quit Old Trafford.

The tabloid newspaper also reports that a fan who got to see the star in hospital as he recovered from an ankle op said Ronaldo told him: 'I hope I’ll be as good in Spain as I was in England.'

David Jolly, 23 — whose dad is Portuguese — sneaked into Ronaldo’s room in Amsterdam.

He said: 'As we left my father said, "Good luck in Madrid" and Cristiano made his remark.

'He said it with a big smile. It left us in no doubt about his intention to go to Spain. He talked like he was already going.'

He may be on his way, but Ronaldo, 23, was struggling as he left Amsterdam — with his crutches.

He limped through Schiphol Airport before boarding a plane to Lisbon — but will his final destination be Manchester or Madrid?
