Ronaldo wants to play for Flamengo

Published January 1, 2008

MILAN, Dec 31: Flamengo have held talks with Ronaldo and hope the striker can come to an agreement with AC Milan to allow him to move, the Brazilian club have said.

Milan denied last week that they had allowed Ronaldo to speak to Flamengo but the Brazilian side have now said discussions with the European champions are not necessary.

“The interest is reciprocal. I have already spoken to Ronaldo, he wants to play with Flamengo,” Flamengo’s Vice-president Kleber Leite was quoted as saying in Monday’s Gazzetta Dello Sport.

“In two weeks we will present him with a final offer. We have nothing to say to Milan. We will not deal with them. It is up to Ronaldo to resolve his contract.”

Ronaldo, whose Milan contract runs out at the end of the season, has played just one game in this campaign because of nagging leg injuries.—Reuters
