Robben wants Ronaldo at Real
Sunday, June 15, 2008
Arjen Robben says he would welcome Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid even if the move put his own future at the Spanish giants in doubt.
Ronaldo has been persistently linked with a switch to the Spanish capital and was reported last week as saying he wants to play for Real.
And Dutch winger Robben would be happy to see the United forward arrive at the Bernabeu and insists the pair could play together in the same side.
Robben said: "It's only good for me and good for the team. And it's not that if he plays, I can't play. We can play together."
And although Robben acknowledges the Spanish top flight may not be as strong as The Premier League, he understands the attraction to Ronaldo of joining Real.
He added: "It's totally up to him - I think he is enjoying himself over there (at United).
"I don't think you can say football is at a higher level (in Spain) because we weren't in the last final of the Champions League like them.
"But, for me, I think Madrid is the biggest club in the world and I can understand if he wants to join them.
"It's a great league - I think you play a bit more football in Spain and I am enjoying myself there."
