Juve door opens for Ron Friday 12 January, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus are being linked with a shock move for Ronaldo after Milan insisted that the Real Madrid man is not on their wanted list.
The Brazilian’s stint at Real seems to be coming to an end, with the Spanish Press insisting that the 34 minutes played against Deportivo on Sunday were his last for the club.
Boss Fabio Capello is unconvinced of the 29-year-old’s ability and is, according to Marca, ready to ignore him for the rest of the campaign.
Milan have subsequently again been linked after going close to landing the former Inter star during the summer.
However, Milan chief Adriano Galliani last night categorically ruled out the arrival of Ronaldo this month.
“We are not looking for a striker,” said the official. “There is only one negotiation underway at the time being and that is with Lazio for defender Massimo Oddo.”
The Rossoneri’s snub could now sensationally open the door for Juventus to make a shock move for the South American.
Turin daily Tuttosport today leads with a story claiming that Nike, who sponsor both the player and the Italian club, are ready to financially help the Turin giants net the 30-year-old.
An imminent move would be unlikely though seeing as the Old Lady of Italian football are still five months away from Serie A status.
Other possible options for Ronaldo include Flamengo and Arabian club Al-Ittihad, who have allegedly made a lucrative offer to convince the player to join Inter man Luis Figo from July.
The MLS may also be a temptation after Madrid teammate David Beckham signed a £130m five-year deal with the LA Galaxy on Thursday.
Premiership sides Portsmouth and Newcastle have also been mentioned in the same breath as the former Golden Ball winner.
