The Rossoneri could sign the Brazilian striker already in January according to what has been reported by the Spanish daily newspaper AS this morning.

Real Madrid and Milan continue negotiating on various fronts, the latest of which is the possibility of Ronaldo returning to Italy to join the Rossoneri in what would be considered as a shock move considering the Brazilian’s Nerazzurro past.

Always according to the AS, this is a move by the Spanish giants to pave the path for luring Kaka to Madrid by the end of the season after the first negotiations in the past summer had failed, leading to a war of words between the two clubs.

Things between the two European heavyweights have improved and this offer would further attest this.

Milan were initially linked to a move with Cassano, but if these latest speculations are to be believed, then the Rossoneri could add another Brazilian to their South American ranks.

Ronaldo ‘wants’ Milan move

Unwanted Real Madrid ace Ronaldo has reportedly sent his agent to Italy in a bid to secure him a January transfer to Milan.

The Brazilian’s stint in the Spanish capital is at an end, at the request of boss Fabio Capello, and a Rossoneri switch is a possibility.

"The situation is different to that of David Beckham as Ronaldo still has another year on his contract after this one," said Real President Ramon Calderon.

"But he is going to be inactive because the Coach has made it clear he doesn't intend to count on him."

Spanish newspaper AS claims that agent Fabiano Farah travelled to Milan on Monday, where he is scheduled to meet Rossoneri officials in order to finalise the move before the end of the month.

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani recently said that the club were not interested in signing a striker in January, but the official then back-tracked by revealing that Ronaldo might join.

Ronaldo is also a reported target for Flamengo, Arabian club Al-Ittihad and the MLS, but he still seems keen on playing for an important European club before ending his career elsewhere.

The main issue now remains the financial details of the operation, as Milan are allegedly willing to pay £2m to immediately have him on loan, with an option to buy the former Golden Ball winner at the end of term.

The AS website also suggests that transfer market consultant Ernesto Bronzetti is acting as an intermediary between the parties.

In the meantime, Milan have also targeted striker Pato of Internacional Porto Alegre, despite President Vitorio Piffero recently denying that the 17-year-old was on sale.

The promising Brazilian is contracted to the outfit until 2009 and his rescission clause is set at £14m, but reports suggest that Milan are only willing to offer £8.2m to bring the player to the San Siro.
