Milan in Ronaldo talks

Internazionale were thought to be leading the chase to take Ronaldo back to Giuseppe Meazza - two years after leaving for the Spanish capital.

Now Milan have dispatched former star Leonardo - now a scout for the club - to sound his compatriot out about his future

Leonardo took the chance to visit Ronaldo in Dublin, before Brazil's international with Ireland.

"I had the chance to speak with Ronaldo in Dublin about if he would like to play someday for Milan and he didn't yes or no," said Leonardo.

"We only had a short conversation. We have very good relationship and I asked him about what he will do in the future.

"He is in contract with Real Madrid and Milan will not interfere between them, but who wouldn't like to have Ronaldo in the club?"

Real Madrid have already insisted that Ronaldo will not be allowed to leave the club, but rumours are now persisting that the Brazilian could be on the move again.
