Ronaldo's Father: My Son Wants To Play For
Flamengo
Ronaldo's father, Nelio, has commented on the recent speculation
linking his son with a move to Flamengo.
It was recently reported that Brazilian outfit Flamengo had begun
negotiations with AC Milan's Ronaldo with a view towards a transfer
for the player back to his homeland.
Indeed, Flamengo's president was quoted on a Brazilian website as
saying that talks were well underway. However, AC Milan moved
quickly to deny this, and subsequently all was quiet.
However, Ronaldo's father himself now claims that his son, who is
currently in convalescence in Brazil, has his heart set on a switch
to the Rio outfit.
Speaking to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Nelio remarked, "He's always
talking of his desire to move to Flamengo, who he supports, and
sooner or later he will do so."
For his part, Flamengo president Kleber Leite has once again fanned
the flames of speculation by claiming that he wishes to offer the
troubled forward a deal through to 2010.
His current AC Milan contract expires in June 2008.
