anything less than his €1bn buyout clause, according to club president
Florentino Perez.
Ronaldo, 30, has been a reported target of Paris Saint-Germain in
recent months, with El Mundo Deportivo reporting earlier this week
that Real rejected a €150m bid from the French champions this summer
for the Portugal captain, according to Soccernet.
Asked about PSG's interest in Ronaldo, Perez said in an interview with
Spanish radio station Cadena Cope, "Here in Spain everybody has it
easy because, unlike in England, a release clause exists. If you want
to sign a player you pay his buyout clause and get him.
"In the case of Cristiano it's €1,000m (£725m). If they don't pay
that, they don't want him. Whenever I've wanted a player, I've gone
for him paying the release clause."
Ronaldo has three years left on his contract at the Bernabeu, and
Perez says a Madrid team without the forward is out of the question.
"It's just impossible," he said. "He is our most emblematic player,
the best player in the world. It doesn't enter our mind to sell him.
"Of course I like (Barcelona's Lionel) Messi, but I prefer Cristiano
Ronaldo a lot more."
