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.

I think we will know by tomorrow if he is coming or not!

Galliani says that the gathering was very short, and in these cases it's never good. There's a big gap between Milan's offer and Real's demands. If this goes like this, I think we're gona get Iaquinta.

I fkin' hope this is true.

Oh, so you like Iaquinta then?

Great news. Now we can look for some real players for our squad.

yes, we dont get Ronaldo, he's pretty much what's left in the transfer market.

I prefer someone who runs. And who don't get 7M-euros per year.

He worths around 10m USD IMO, no more!

It's not your money. And I know, we all wanted someone better than Ronaldo, but if he is our only option, then so be it. He has been Real's top scorer every year ever since he joined them, so that should tell you something!

i'd rather have gila and pippo instead of Iaquinta

And who is this secret player of yours? Tevez? Nah, he's not coming. Torres? Nah, he's staying at Atletico. Sobis? No, he joined Racing Santansh!t. Who the, tell me, who?

I don't know. All I want is no b/s in San Siro.

Adriano Galliani has confirmed that Milan and Real Madrid are unlikely to agree on Ronaldo’s transfer, despite the deal seemingly being finished on Wednesday.

“Short meetings are never positive,” said the Rossoneri Vice-President. “There is a major gap between the request for the player and what we can offer.”

Real Madrid value Ronaldo at £18m and wanted midfielder Kaka to be included in the deal, but the Via Turati club was not willing to offer more than £10m, with no player in exchange.

Spanish newspapers AS and Marca both stated on Thursday that Kaka was the main obstacle to a positive outcome of the negotiations between the two clubs.

The Diavoli are now forced to change their plans and may formalise their offer for Udinese’s Vincenzo Iaquinta, rumoured to be worth £7m plus striker Marco Borriello.

David Trezeguet and Adriano are also on Milan’s shortlist, but Juventus don’t intend to let the Frenchman leave and Inter are not keen on selling to their direct competitors.

Milan’s summer market has not yet scored a top level signing, after losing Hernan Crespo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to rivals Nerazzurri.

Now tha would be fantatstic. How could someone say no to that?

This is getting worse and worse.

Iaquinta???!!!!!!!!!!! That idiot doesn't even know how to run with the ball.

And Trezeguet won't be of any use to us since he is just another version of Gila and Pippo.

They should have gotten Sobis in the first place, now look what happened Ronalda seems unlikely and we don't have any real chance of getting someone that could be called a good forward

Thank god we didn't sign Ibra or Sobis. One was attitude-problem. The other is too young and unknown.

Oh my God. 'I told you so' just can't explain this enough.
Sobis was a great solution, but Berlusconi believed in a deal with Ronaldo that wasn't ever close to happening... This is outrageous.

Stupid board, stupid stupid board. Now go and sign Iaquinta and everyone will be happy!

I think we already have those too.Iaquinta is just a rumour. He's unsettled and we're looking for a forward; it's just the reporters' suggestion!!!

Has Sobis officialy signed or was that just another Marca bullsh1t ???

Quality avatar Portugal

No words. I'm speechless. Sep 1st is the board's deadline after that I declare a vendetta....bloody hell...no defenders, no forwards, no nothing...

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.

This line can't be used for much longer, we have been saying this for the past month, now I'm not sure that they can reach a deal for anyone in such a short time span.

btw, reports are now saying that Udinese have agreed to sell us (waite I have to go and throw up before I say this) Iaquinta

Oh and I think we can forget about Torres and Tevez, Torres won't leave Atletico and Tevez is practically Chelsea property.

So is this Oliveira guy any good I never heard about him

Tevez just returned to Brazil cause he is uncertain of his future. If we make a good deal we can bring Torres. Oliveira is a good choice, but I don't know if he's a forward or box-striker. Iaquinta can suck my d!ck.

He is decent but no Milan quality IMHO

In the Real Madrid game vs Anderlecht yesterday, Madrid fans reveal a poster saying that Madrid board should sell every R9 kilogram for one million

That will be huge. About what 150M?

No, thats too much, I was thinking more on the lines of 120M

well...we always have january

through all this though, i think all this talk about how terrible our forwards are going to be this year is a smack in the face to gilardinho and pippo...they are 2 great strikers and i think gilardinho is going to step up and take on the lead role this year. pippo has already shown great form again and we can always move kaka up as a striker as well.

I think he'd be bad at that too!



Quality comment Warchant. But believe me we know that. That's the only reason everyone on this forum is still holding on to our sanity

We had the same idea last january when were getting some defensive reinforcements. Of course our defense came through.

Hopefully it will be the same with our strikers now.

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.

There still is a chance Ronaldo will want to come.

What is Real thinking, like we're going give them 24 y/o Kaka and all this money for a 30 year old, injury prone Ronaldo.

Theres more to Ronaldo than just football. Alot of it has to do with the fame that he draws to a club-- the business side of things.

I think this is why Don Silvio wants him so bad.

Loss of Scheva = loss prestige in the football world.

Silvio wants Ronaldo as a possible replacement and also because he aggressively expanding Milan's channel, and products. Ronaldo could be the new poster boy.

Milan have built their legacy on great strikers in the game. Van Basten and Scheva.
