Italian giants Milan have admitted that they are in talks over a proposed swoop for Real Madrid’s Ronaldo.

Rossoneri Vice-President Adriano Galliani confirmed the club’s interest in the player after their 2-1 win at Red Star Belgrade ensured Champions League qualification.

“Ronaldo is available and now it’s a matter between Milan and Real Madrid,” commented the official.

“We have officially asked for the player,” he added. “Now we will now wait and see what will happen.

“We will be pleased if a deal can be completed, but if that were not the case then we will be happy with the players we have.”

Talks are set to begin as soon as today and Real Madrid maestro Ramon Calderon is ready to do business.

"I know Milan have already talked to the player and I don't think that is right, but we are still prepared to receive representatives from any friendly club," Calderon told reporters.

Real had insisted they are not interested in selling the 30-year-old, but may consider the option if Milan were to offer Brazil midfielder Kaka in exchange – something which seems highly unlikely.

"We don't want to get rid of Ronaldo, but we are prepared to negotiate," added the Merengues’ chief.

"If Ronaldo wants to leave we'll have to look for a solution, we don't want money, we want something else,” referring to Kaka.

Calderon had promised to buy the Brazilian starlet during his election campaign in June much to Milan’s disgust.

Real Coach Fabio Capello has also reiterated his desire to see Kaka at his disposal, although aware of the difficulty in striking a deal.

"Kaka is one of those rare players who can make the difference and for us he is a priority, but if he isn’t for sale, we cannot buy him,” said Capello.

As to Ronaldo, Capello stressed the fact that he only needs motivated players on his side.

"Ronaldo is a great player, the fact that he is courted by many teams means that he is talented, but a player should stay only if he is happy to do so,” stated Don Fabio.

“If that is not the case, then he must speak out in order for the club to examine the situation and consider the options.”

The Brazilian, who is still recovering from knee surgery he underwent following the World Cup, will not play in Real Madrid’s first match of the season against Villarreal on Sunday

I dont think that Ronaldo is the last option for them
They just dont want to pay too much for him
I HOPE they DONT get him at all

Hello Brothers i its good they speak out wat they have in mind for us and KAKA its a good idea they want KAKA but wat a pity we can not replace our stalet for RONALDO Because KAKA has a great part to take in our TEAM is we ahve to let RONALDO go and look for a good striker to replace SHEVCHENKO..

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah this would be so f@cked up ... but Galliani is always like that

they wanna save money then use the remaining money on themself, what a milan management,

That's exactly what I think Berlusconi is doing!

Ahh...this is like a dream....a NIGHTMARE!!!
What do we want with this fat guy? He? I don't have slightest repect for this move!
Ronaldo is fat, slow, out of shape and he's too old. His best times are FAR FAR FAR gone! And now we come over and pay some 20 Million € for this jerk? Why? I can't get it? Why don't we buy a younger striker, who isn't fat, and has an acceptable attitude. This is the worst that could happen to us....Ronaldo
STAY AWAY!!!

I really don't know what the f@ck they're thinking.Silvio is a complete idiot if he thinks The Mass will satisfy us tifosi or make up for Sheva's departure ... Wake Up Please!!!!

He needs three months just to be ready to play for God's sake!!!!!!!!!!

Back to the beginning, eh? Our management truly sucks. This has been by far our worst mercato since Ancelotti has been our coach. Enough of this, get Torres for f@ck's sake!
