Ronaldo has already cleared a medical with the Italian giants and talks are now supposed to be in a very advanced stage. According to the Milan Vice President only a million euros is what separates the two clubs from coming to an agreement over the three times FIFA would player of the year. Ronaldo still has more than a year left in his contract with the Spanish club but having fallen off with Coach Fabio Capello he made it clear that he would rather leave the club a request that Real president Ramon Calderon was too glad to accept if a suitable deal came their way.

Milan Coach Carlos Ancelotti is quite happy with the Brazilian’s decision to come to Milan than follow his Madrid team-mate David Beckham into MLS or Luis Figo to the middle-east. The Milan boss thinks that Ronaldo still has a plenty to offer and is still as motivated to play and shine at in the top flight soccer.

In all possibilities the deal is expected to be finalized by Tuesday evening and Milan are quite keen on having their man on the team-sheet for Wednesday’s Coppa Italia clash with Roma. But with negotiations still hanging on the issue of valuation that might look a lil unlikely… but nevertheless the deal might just go through even if it goes to the wire is what many believe, cos Ronaldo going to Milan seems to be the best possible solution to all parties – Real, Milan, Ronaldo and also if someone considers soccer fans and Ronaldo fans in particular.

Looks like Real Madrid are in a hurry to dump another of their ‘galcticos’ Ronaldo. The Brazilian has spent more time on the bench this season than on pitch and things have turned so sour between him and the club’s manager Fabio Capello that Ronaldo has already been told that he will not find another spot in the playing eleven and if he wants he could decide where he wants to go next. Ronaldo is the next big name after the exit of David Beckham to have fallen off with Coach Fabio Capello.

Ronaldo has made just three starts since the Italian took over the reigns in Santiago Bernabeu and in all has found the net just five times this season. Ronaldo has been under severe criticism since Brazil’s exit from the World Cup and unlike many of his countrymen hasn’t had much success at his club after the disastrous World Cup. His ever growing weight meant that he was half as agile and mobile as he used to be and the indifferent form in from the goal has only left team mates and Coach frustrated alike.

Though like Beckham Ronaldo has been given the ultimatum to leave but things are a lil more difficult in his case as he has one more year left on his contract and is not on a free transfer like the former England mid-fielder. The three time world player of the year could follow Beckham into Major League Soccer in the states joining the New York Red Bulls. Else Ronaldo could also be back in Italy with Juventus or travel as far as the Middle East to play for Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo joined the Spanish giants from Inter Milan after a successful World Cup 2002 in Korea-Japan emerging from the World Cup as the leading goal scorer. He made a fantastic debut for Real scoring a hat-trick. But since then things have changed much… Real haven’t won much in the past few seasons and for sure having coughed up millions of bucks it must be really hitting them hard in the gut to carry the load of such bulky stars – both their body weight and pay checks are outrageously fat.

Real Madrid has been known for a club of stars and looks like now they wanna add the brightest young star on the horizon to their squad. The player who has had a superb season so far and one who is seemingly getting better with everything game is being hunted by the Galacticos. Christiano Ronaldo has arguably been the stand out player in Europe this season and it’s no surprise that every club in the continent would love to have him in the squad, especially the big and struggling ones such as Real Madrid.

Real have reportedly offered a sum of 40 million euros for the Portuguese mid-fielder but Manchester United is in no mood whatsoever to let go off Christiano. Ronaldo has been in supreme form this season scoring almost a dozen goals apart from lighting up the pitch on numerous occasions with dazzling play. United has almost scoffed at the offer putting an unprecedented 70 million euro price tag to its most priceless player at the moment.

The offer by the Spanish giants for sure shows how the stock of this youngster has risen since the season began. But more importantly it highlights the deep mire and desperation that Real find themselves in at this moment. By offering to buy a player who can only take part in the domestic competitions and that too for a price so high Real has shown that it is clearly struggling.

Ronaldo is club tied for this seasons UEFA Champions League and can only take part in the domestic championship. But Real with all its stars hasn’t been able to show a tenth of the performance that it has been known for in the past. Clearly a lesson well learnt that money and stars alone doesn’t make a good team. A lesson that Chelsea might as well learn sooner than later. But to put the record straight Manchester United are no way selling the prodigious Portuguese. For the moment and for many seasons ahead Ronaldo looks well set at Old Trafford and if he continues this way he surely might as well fill his trophy cabinet too…

Unlike English counterparts Spanish clubs do have a mid-year holiday break and would be back in action all with renewed energies when the Premiera Liga action resumes this weekend. And as the actions kick off it would be some interesting games to watch out for. League leaders Seville would be facing fifth in the table Real Zaragosa in an away game hoping to come out unscathed in what could be a real tricky encounter for Seville. Seville has done really well in the past twelve months and would be very much looking forward to repeat performance of the show they put up last season when they beat Zaragosa 2-0 in last season’s corresponding fixture.

In another mouth watering clash Real Madrid would be away at Deprotivo La Coruna with history pretty much against them and the current form suggesting that it might not be all that straight forward for the Galacticos. Real haven’t won at Deprotivo in about a decade and half, they would surely would like to change this stat but the indifferent form that Real has shown this season might just keep things the same. Meanwhile, with Jose Antonio Reyes fit again David Beckham could again find himself on the bench, just as he has done all season.

Elsewhere in the league Barcelona would be away at Getafe knowing fully well that the hosts have won all but one game including the one against Real Madrid. The champions would surely miss the services of star mid-fielders Deco and Ronaldhino both who are out with suspension. The other games to watch out for over the weekend include Real Sociedad v Osasuna, Real Betis v Celta Vigo and Villareal v Valencia.
