Fener Target Ronaldo Not Going to Brasil

Fener Target Ronaldo Not Going to Brasil
By Nathan L. Redd

After rampant speculation recently involving potential Fenerbahce target Ronaldo, AC Milan has issued a statement denying that the star is headed for his home country. Brasilian squad Flamengo publicly announced they were in negotiations with AC Milan to bring Ronaldo to Brasil. Flamengo Vice-President Kleber Leite stated earlier this week "We've had preliminary conversations, noting that he wants to change the direction of his life."

AC Milan quickly issued a statement on the club's official website shortly thereafter. The statement read “A.C. Milan denies to have started a negotiation with Flamengo for the transfer of Ronaldo; therefore also denies to have authorized the same Brazilian club for an eventual agreement with the footballer.”

It has been widely speculated that Ronaldo will leave AC Milan this year, and Fenerbahce has been a possible destination mentioned for the star.
