RIVALDO QUITS MILAN!
Friday 26 September, 2003
Rivaldo is no longer a Milan player after he had his request to terminate his contract accepted.
The shock move comes just days after he held talks with Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti over his future use.
The Brazilian was unhappy at having rarely played for the Rossoneri and had threatened to leave the club in January.
The World Cup winner arrived at the San Siro last summer after he had his contract rescinded with Barcelona.
The club will hold a Press conference on Friday afternoon regarding the whole situation.
The player is now a free agent and can move to any club immediately with Real Madrid reportedly interested.

Rivaldo says he quit Milan because he simply couldn’t accept the fact that he was playing so rarely.
The Brazilian terminated his contract with the European giants on Friday after failing to break into the first team.
"I made my mind up last night," the World Cup winner said this afternoon. "I couldn’t handle not playing regularly anymore.
"I understood the situation in Week 1 against Ancona when I sat on the bench for the entire game.
"I thought to myself that if I couldn’t play in that kind of match then I wouldn’t feature in the really big clashes.
"This is just a personal decision and I feel that I’m making the right choice. I’m not looking for anyone to blame."
The attacking midfielder arrived in Italy last year after he rescinded his contract with Barcelona.
"I always dreamed of playing for Milan and I’m happy that I won the Champions’ League with this club," he added.
"I’m disappointed that the Rivaldo witnessed in Spain didn’t turn up here. I had my problems last term and nothing had changed much this time around."
Despite having showdown talks with boss Carlo Ancelotti this week, Rivaldo asked Milan this morning to end their agreement immediately.
"He asked us and we accepted to meet his needs on friendly terms," said Vice-president Adriano Galliani.
"I would like to thank Rivaldo for his work here in which he has contributed to the three trophies which we have won over the past 12 months."
Rivaldo, who was earning around £3.5m a season, is now a free agent and could team up with international colleague Ronaldo at Real Madrid. Even if he has other options.
"The fact that I played against Porto in the Super Cup means that I can’t be used in the Champions’ League this term," he noted.
"There is a chance that I could move to England but I will evaluate all of my options with calm.
