The Manchester United winger has yet to reveal his future plans with Madrid attempting to lure him to the Bernabeu after a long, public courtship which has prompted United to report Real to world governing body FIFA over what they considered to be attempts to unsettle the player.
FIFA refused to take any formal action, however, and Calderon is adamant his club have done nothing wrong telling Madrid radio station City FM: "I suppose they think we have intervened in some way. But it's not like that and that's the truth."
He added: "We know that it's something between the player and Manchester United.
"If the player continues to insist that he wants to come and if United will consider letting him go, then we'll ask.
"If the price is right and everyone's happy, then it won't turn sour.
"I prefer not to talk much about him because he is a United player. We are in this situation as passive spectators, but his declarations have provoked a lot of expectation.
"Nevertheless that is not enough because the player belongs to United, a great club that we are friends with, and we don't want to interfere.
"If it was me, it would make me proud that the big clubs were asking about our players."
