    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"><font size="2">AC Milan have revealed they want to take Real Madrid striker Ronaldo to the San Siro on a free transfer.

    </font> <font size="2">But Real are holding out for a transfer fee for the 30-year-old Brazilian, who has 18 months left on his contract.</font>
    <font size="2">
    </font>
    <font size="2">Ronaldo, the highest goalscorer in World Cup history, cost ?20m when he joined Real from Inter Milan in 2002.</font>
    <font size="2">
    </font>
    <font size="2">"There is this possibility and I cannot deny it. We are waiting to see what Real Madrid say," said Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani.</font>
    <font size="2">
    </font>
    <font size="2">Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has made it clear that Ronaldo is on his way out of the club, having barely played under new coach Fabio Capello.</font>
    <font size="2">
    </font>
    <font size="2">Milan had pursued an interest in Ronaldo after the World Cup, but decided not to proceed because Real were only interested in a swap deal involving Brazil midfielder Kaka.</font>
    <font size="2">
    </font>
    <font size="2">"Real Madrid are not ready to allow Ronaldo to leave for free. There has been no agreement," added Galliani.</font>
    <font size="2">
    </font>
    <font size="2">"I work in relation to the decisions that are made by the coach. The board will look for a suitable solution for the club and the player.</font>
    <font size="2">
    </font>
    <font size="2">"I have already said that the players are not like merchandise and we cannot move them on like they are.</font>
    <font size="2">
    </font>
    <font size="2">"What we want is that all parties benefit and nobody is left feeling bad." </font>
    <font size="2">Ronaldo has started only three league matches under Italian Capello, who has been focusing on bringing in new blood since taking over in the summer.</font>
    <font size="2">
    </font>
    <font size="2">The former Cruzeiro, PSV Eindhoven, Barcelona and Inter forward has also been linked with AC Italian rivals Juventus and a move to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.</font>
    <font size="2">
    </font>
    <font size="2">Ronaldo has scored 69 league goals for Real in 98 appearances.</font></div>BBC SPORT | Football | Europe | Milan admit to Ronaldo interest

    It would be a good buy for AC.... i reckon he is still a great player despite his weight and sometimes his effort.
