Ronaldo goes to Milan

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is confident Ronaldo will be wearing the Rossoneri's colours in the next few days.

Galliani will travel to Spain on Monday to meet Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon in the hope of completing the signing of the Brazilian forward.

"I have a meeting at 5pm on Monday in Madrid with the Real Madrid president," said Galliani.

"Only one million (euros) separates us from reaching an agreement. Hopefully, we will reach an agreement and Ronaldo can train with his new team by Tuesday."

Milan have made a six million euro offer for the former Internazionale striker, but Real will not sell him for less than seven million.

Although the deal has yet to be completed, Ronaldo underwent a medical on Friday at Milan's headquarters and Galliani was satisfied with the player's form.

"He is in good condition," said Galliani. "Better than what doctors had expected."

This transfer also supported by AC Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti who really like to played the Brazilian player.

The 30-year-old is expected to complete his transfer to the Rossoneri later on Monday in a reported 7million euros transfer.

The former Internazionale forward has been out of favour at Real Madrid and his imminent move to the Rossoneri has met with mixed reactions from supporters who claim he is far from his physical peak.

"Ronaldo is not fat," Ancelotti said.

"He is a very robust player. I think his problem is the fact that in recent times, he has not had much motivation.

"From a physical point of view, he hasn't trained much because he has been excluded from Real Madrid's team and he has lost motivation in training.

"But he remains a great player. In the last five years at Real, he has scored almost 100 goals. No one in the world has done that."
