Milan have reportedly agreed a fee with Real Madrid to sign Ronaldo on Thursday, according to the latest reports.
The two clubs have been negotiating after Ronaldo made it clear that he was determined to terminate his contract with the Spanish giants and wanted to join the San Siro outfit in January.
The parties had initially failed to agree financial terms, as Milan were keen on signing Il Fenomeno on a free transfer, whereas the Merengues were not willing to let him leave for nothing.
LaRepubblica.it reports that a deal was finalised early this morning, and Ronaldo is expected to be at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza to watch the Coppa Italia semi-final against Roma.
The website also stated that there are conflicting reports on the striker’s price, as Milan sources suggest the Rossoneri will pay £4.6m, whereas elsewhere it has been reported as £5.7m.
According to El Mundo, Real accepted a £4.2 offer from the San Siro outfit, who had already been paired with the former Inter man last summer, when the Galacticos turned down an £11m offer.
Rossoneri Vice-President Adriano Galliani had written to Madrid chief Ramon Calderon on Wednesday, asking him to allow the player to undergo the routine medical tests in Italy before finalising an offer.
“This is not the normal procedure, a player can undergo medicals only after he signs a contract, or at least he receives an offer,†replied the Spanish giants via fax.
Galliani, however, met sporting director Franco Baldini again on Wednesday night, finally reaching an agreement.
Milan have allegedly offered the former Golden Ball winner an 18-month contract worth £5.3m, plus his entire image rights worth a lucrative £8m a year – which he previously shared with Real.

That is good but is not enough we need pato, barzagli and heinze.
i think we had an excellent jan. transfer window cuz we made better more now than in summer. ronaldo just has to work on his fitness and i'm sure he'll make an impact. it's also nice to have a legend like ronaldo play for milan and also to piss off inter hehehe. The only thing is we still need to get pato and i have a feeling everyone will be after him in the summer, even madrid. woulda been nice to get him now.
Omg! we've got Ronaldo!!! 
wait, there was a fee? what about all the talk about a free transfer?
...whatever
we got ronaldo, and im happy about it...
