Ronaldo seals shock Real move? Friday 2 August, 2002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Real Madrid and Inter have confirmed that Ronaldo’s agent has “offered the players’ services to the Spanish side”.
According to their official website a clear signal to continue the negotiations on an official level will be made on Monday.
If the player does not attend the Inter squad presentation on August 5 he will pave the way for this extraordinary move.
General director Jorge Valdano made the comments on Realmadrid.com and will hold a press conference later this evening.
“I had a meeting with Alexandre Martins this afternoon,” explained Valdano, “in which the agent confirmed that Ronaldo wished to leave Inter as his era with the club was finished.”
Real Madrid have long been linked with Il Fenomeno and it was previously suggested that former Inter hero Roberto Carlos acted as a go-between during their 2002 World Cup campaign.
The Nerazzurri have always denied that Ronaldo could be sold despite his return to fitness, but undoubtedly the relationship between star and club is no longer as strong as it once was.
Valdano also confirmed that several months ago Real Madrid and Inter agreed a pact of ‘non-aggression’ with transfer dealings to prevent auctions breaking out over players.
Real President Jorge Valdano has in recent years made one record breaking buy per season, snatching Luis Figo from Barcelona and Zinedine Zidane from Juventus.
Ronaldo would cost in the region of £50m as his contract with Inter will not expire until 2006. He recently agreed a pay-cut, along with teammates Christian Vieri and Alvaro Recoba, as a gesture of thanks to President Massimo Moratti.
However, Real representative Valdano added that even if Ronaldo chooses to leave the San Siro he is by no means certain to wear the Merengues shirt.
“At this moment in time the conditions for a loan or even a buy do not exist,” he told the official Real website. “Our interest in Ronaldo is relative, not a strategy such as with Figo and Zidane.”
Inter made their own official statement late this evening on their website, confirming all of the above.
“We must point out,” read the statement, “that the indiscretion came from a meeting between the Brazilian players’ manager and the Spanish club.”
“The excellent relationship that exists between Real Madrid and Inter allowed for phone contact to be made very quickly and both agreed that this discussion cannot possibly continue with these conditions.”
Tellingly, the statement only points out that Real Madrid will not buy Ronaldo, not denying that the player had offered himself to the Spaniards.
