Ramon Calderon has denied Real Madrid want to re-sign Samuel Eto'o, and says he is now a "passive observer" of Cristiano Ronaldo's next move.
Los Merengues' supremo was quizzed on Eto'o after rumours abounded in the Spanish media linking the 27-year-old Cameroon international striker with a return to Real.
But just as was the case when the Blaugrana were linked with Robinho, the 'non-aggression' pact between the two sides stands.
"There is no Eto'o case. I do not know where this has come from because more than anything, it is logical, that Barcelona would not sell a player to Real Madrid," Calderon told Marca.
"We have a very strong squad that has just won the league. If we do end up signing players, there will be very few and they will be very good."
Having been very vocal throughout the summer over their pursuit of Ronaldo, the Madrid president now feels that he has done enough and must sit and wait.
While the Portugal star recovers from surgery on his ankle, Calderon knows that the only way a transfer is now possible is if the player pushes for a move away from Manchester United.
"We have nothing to say on this theme. We are just spectators, a passive observer in the matter," added Calderon.
