Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has rejected a move to Milan, according to the Italian Press.

The 20-year-old stopper, who joined Los Meringues from Sevilla last year, is happy to stay in La Liga and is negotiating an improved contract with President Roman Calderon.

The Rossoneri will have to look elsewhere now. While the signing Massimo Oddo remains as complicated as ever, Vice-President Adriano Galliani is tempted by Juliano Belletti.

The Brazilian full-back would be happy to move to San Siro and Barcelona would be keen to sell him for about £3m. Milan may then offer him a three-year deal.

Belletti would then be an easy option considering the problems in all the other negotiations.

Even Argentinean left-back Leandro Grimi, who was supposed to join Milan during the transfer window, is having troubles with his passport and may only be available from June.

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) R7 I get you. But I'm guessing what the people are saying is that Ramos if he flops could really derail stuff, while the same cannot be said of Grimi.

Secondly if Ramos is a success and plays at the level of Madrid, it's not something to swoon over, coz we all seen what he can do and it's not like he's number 1 in the world. However anything good from Grimi would be a HUGE bonus, since expectations are low. And I guess underneath..where our ego resides, we'd rather get an unknown and make him huge than think we had to use somebody from Madrid to lift us out of the abyss.

So how was Christmas?
