Calderon was president of the La Liga giants when they signed Ronaldo from Manchester United in 2009 for a then-world-record fee of £80m.
Ronaldo won four Champions Leagues, two La Liga titles and two Copa del Rey trophies with Real Madrid, but it was confirmed last week that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner would be joining Juventus, for a fee Sky sources understand to be £105m.
Juventus will unveil Ronaldo on Monday and, speaking to Spanish newspaper Diario AS, Calderon said: "It's very sad that they have sold a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, it's a real pity.
"And now they have sold him. There isn't a player who scores 60 goals a year for you and is worth to you €100m
The 67-year-old Calderon went on to explain he believes the fee received for Ronaldo was too low.
He said: "Selling Cristiano is not good news, either for 100 million or a billion. But it is true that we put a clause of a billion euros to discourage those interested in him in the future, but at the same time, to show that there was no other player like him.
"It's a historic error."
