Ronaldo bid failed?

Reports in Spain are suggesting that the negotiations for Ronaldo’s transfer from Real Madrid to Milan have ground to a halt.

The deal seemed near to being closed on Wednesday evening, when Rossoneri Vice-President Adriano Galliani and director general Ariedo Braida flew to Madrid.

The officials met Real President Ramon Calderon and sporting director Predrag Mijatovic, but Spanish newspapers AS and Marca are now claiming that their bid failed.

The Spanish giants apparently insisted on Milan midfielder Kaka being included in the deal, despite the Rossoneri reiterating that he was not for sale.

The Rossoneri tabled an offer of £15.7m for Ronaldo, but AS states that the Merengues are not willing to let him go for less than £21.5m, especially if they cannot get Kaka in exchange.

O Fenomeno’s hopes of returning to the city thus seem over at least for the time being, although the story may not be at its end.

Inter have not ruled out a move to bring the Brazilian back to San Siro and have allegedly proposed a swap deal to Real Madrid involving Adriano, but Calderon does not seem interested in this option.

Nothings final yet.

Galliani stated that if we don't get Ronaldo then we'll have to make due with what we have.

After all the speculation we get nobody???

It should be a sign that Galliani and Braida need to pack their bags.

No, if we won't get Ronaldo then we will sign Ricardo Oliveira. And there's still hope for Torres too, not to forget Tevez. We'll just have to wait and see.

There hasn't been any real concrete indication that we'll get Ricardo or any of them.

Torres was linked for a move to Milan last january. We got all excited and it didn't come through.

At this point, I say hell with it. If we sign somebody, then we sign somebody.

We'll still be strong on the pitch. Our strikers will do well.

Maybe we could try Kaka in more of a forward role.

We really will just have to wait it out and take what happens in a positive light.
