Milan Complete Signing Of
Ronaldo
AC Milan have signed
Brazilian striker Ronaldo from Spanish side Real Madrid for
£4.95m on an 18-month deal.
Milan will pay a further
£330,000 for the 30-year-old if they qualify for the
Champions League in 2007 or 2008.
Milan coach Carlo
Ancelotti admitted Ronaldo, out of favour at Real this
season, was "not particularly fit", but added: "He remains a
great player."
Ronaldo set a record for
goals scored in World Cups in Germany last year, but was
criticised for being overweight.
Ronaldo, who has won two
World Cups with Brazil and been named Fifa World Player of
the Year three times, has already passed a medical in
Milan.
He had 18 months left on
his Real Madrid contract and cost £20m when he joined
the Bernabeu outfit from Inter Milan in 2002. He has started
only three league matches under new coach Fabio Capello this
season.
Ancelotti said Ronaldo had
lost fitness because "having been excluded from the Real
squad, he has lost some of his enthusiasm in
training".
The two clubs appear to
have come to a compromise on price after Milan
vice-president Adriano Galliani said after meeting Real
officials on Monday: "We have offered seven million euros
(£4.6m) and Real want eight (£5.3m)."
The former Cruzeiro, PSV
Eindhoven, Barcelona and Inter forward had also been linked
with AC's Italian rivals Juventus and a move to Al Ittihad
in Saudi Arabia.
