Madrid have long been admirers of Ronaldo and speculation in Spain has been rife that the Primera Liga champions could be set to launch a summer bid for the Portuguese superstar, with reports of a £100million bid being mooted.

When asked following his side's season-ending 5-2 win over Levante on Sunday whether he would like to have Ronaldo at the Bernabeu, German Schuster said: "I would like to have a lot of players. But I don't think that it is possible that Cristiano Ronaldo will be with us."

Madrid general director Miguel Angel Arroyo claimed earlier this week that his club had the financial clout to bring Ronaldo to the Bernabeu.

However, with United unlikely to want to part with one of their most prized assets and the 23-year-old Ronaldo having agreed a five-year contract extension at Old Trafford just last year, signing the in-form winger looks to be mission impossible.

Schuster added: "I don't waste time on these things. I think about who could come and not on speculation. We are going to look at what we need and then see."
