Quaresma Plays Down Rumours

Porto star Ricardo Quaresma has played down the recent reports suggesting the interest of big names in his services, saying that is mind is on the BWINLIGA...

The Portuguese winger is expected to leave Estádio do Dragão at the end of the season after learning that a host of European giants is in a race to sign him.

However, his release clause is set at staggering €40 million, numbers that may well make life hard for any club that wish to add the Mustang to their ranks.

The Portuguese international's current contract expires in 2011 and he is refusing to talk about a possible transfer, suggesting that he is happy with life in Oporto.

"Let's wait for the end of the season, I am feeling well in FC Porto, but tomorrow I can be in another place, that's football," Quaresma said. "At the moment, I only dream about FC Porto and being champion, if that was not the case, I would have left a long time ago."

Ronaldo Fan

Meanwhile, Quaresma commented on Cristiano Ronaldo's marvellous season at Manchester United, saying: "I only hope that he can reach his goal, which is to be the best in the world. "If he is already the best? There are great players, but at the moment I think that he is the one."
