TRIPLE UPDATE -  FIFA has officially confirmed that they will not punish Real Madrid over Manchester United’s complaint of “tapping up” Cristiano Ronaldo.

“From the documentation received, no breach of contract appears to have occurred yet,” FIFA said in a statement.

“Therefore, in accordance with the applicable practice, no kind of formal procedure has been opened by FIFA regarding this matter.”

DOUBLE UPDATE - Poor Cristiano..

Not only has he been photographed with Real Madrid Fitness Coach Walter Di Salvo in Rome, but it doesn’t look good for his current club Manchester United’s desire to have FIFA punish Real Madrid for unsettling the Portuguese winger.

With the announcement of Scolari going to Chelsea in the middle of the 2008 Euros, you’ve got to think there will be more news coming out of the Portugal camp as the tournament progresses.

UPDATE - Now it’s looking like Ramom Calderon will fight this charge to the death after insisting that Manchester United have no evidence that Real Madrid have acted inappropriately in their pursuit of Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

Doesn’t it always seem like Madrid’s “unsettling” a player through their “admiration” of players?

It’s starting…. But it looks like Manchester United isn’t going to lose Cristiano Ronaldo without a fight.

Today United filed an official complaint with FIFA over Real Madrid’s public courting of the Portuguese winger, but kept it’s contents private.

You’ve got to think with Ronaldo’s refusal to publicly display his loyalty to Sir Alex and Man Utd that his intentions (don’t forget about Nereida Gallardo) are to become the latest Galactico.

My question is if Cristiano is allowed to make this move to Madrid, will he get his image rights in the deal? You know that Madrid will make their money back in jersey sales and marketing alone, but how much are they willing to drop up front?

If Ronaldo does declare his intentions to head to Spain, then you’d think that maybe it’d be worth the sale in terms of the amount of money you’d have coming in, but where do you spend it?

I’d go for Benzema, Ribery and Henry just to name a few.

Ronaldo and Portugal take on Czech Republic on Wednesday in their 2nd match of Group A.
