Flamengo, five times the Brazilian champions, are reported to be in talks with AC Milan about acquiring the out-of-favour striker, Ronaldo.
Kleber Leite, the Flamengo vice-president, said Milan directors have authorised the Brazilian club to approach Ronaldo, who is in Brazil on vacation and to treat an injury.
“This is not a marketing maneuver,” Leite said in yesterday’s editions of the O Globo newspaper. “It’s a negotiation I’ve been conducting for the past three days, without sensationalism. I’ve talked twice with [Milan official] Leonardo and Ronaldo.”
Leite said both parts appeared interested in a possible deal, but stressed that nothing had been agreed yet.
