AC Milan FC Wants Ronaldo

Real Madrid's president will meet AC Milan representatives Wednesday to discuss their interest in signing Ronaldo.

Ramon Calderon said Tuesday he didn't plan to sell the Brazilian striker even though Milan already has approached Ronaldo, who's recovering from a knee injury.

"We have to listen to the player's opinion and that of our training staff," Calderon told Cadena SER radio station Tuesday.

Calderon hinted he would welcome an exchange for Milan forward Kaka, a player he promised fans while campaigning for his position in July.

"Swapping Ronaldo for Kaka wouldn't be bad," Calderon said.

Madrid's new coach Fabio Capello said the interest in Ronaldo showed "he was still an interesting player."

The addition of Ruud van Nistelrooy to Madrid's roster could affect the playing time of Ronaldo, who spent five years in Milan with rival Inter before joining Madrid in 2002. Ronaldo has two years left on his contract.
