AC Milan Commits to Ronaldo
By Nathan L. Redd

With the flurry of names mentioned as possible targets for Fenerbahce, none is bigger than AC Milan star Ronaldo. However, the Italian club has reportedly committed to keeping the superstar through at least the end of the season.

"Ronaldo will stay here surely through June 30, but if he's well both he and we will want to continue this relationship," Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said Wednesday after AC Milan's training camp in Dubai. American TV network Fox Soccer Channel also confirmed the report Thursday evening. Galliani went on to say "I'm happy Ronaldo has returned. Now we have the entire squad available."

Ronaldo himself told reporters "My wish is to earn an important position in Milan ... what counts now is that I feel good and I want to start playing again."

Fenerbahce has been linked with a deal to bring the superstar to Kadikoy, but the club has denied any truth to the rumors. It is believed that President Aziz Yildirim and the board are scouting at least one other striker for a potential move to Turkiye during the transfer window.
