Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has pledged that the Spanish giants will not pursue Cesc Fabregas unless the player himself asks to leave Arsenal.
On Monday evening, Fabregas’ midfield partner Mathieu Flamini agreed to move to Milan at the end of his contract in July and rumours continue to swirl around the PFA Young Player of the Year as well following another excellent season for The Gunners.
Talk of a return to Spain, where he first rose to prominence as a Barcelona trainee, grows with the approach of every transfer window and this season has been no different, with Real reportedly interested in a player who will be looking to make a big impact for his country at the Euro 2008 finals.
Calderon has admitted that Fabregas is a popular figure in the corridors of power at the Bernabeu, but the president – who celebrated a second league title in succession on Sunday – will not look to test Arsenal’s resolve unless the midfielder first asks to leave North London.
“All the coaches love him but my policy is that it must be the player who makes the step to move because we do not want conflicts with any teams,” said Calderon to Marca.
“Cesc has something beautiful as he is Spanish and this is one of my goals, to make Real Madrid more Spanish.”
