Adriano Galliani has confirmed that Milan and Real Madrid are unlikely to agree on Ronaldo’s transfer, despite the deal seemingly being finished on Wednesday.

“Short meetings are never positive,” said the Rossoneri Vice-President. “There is a major gap between the request for the player and what we can offer.”

Real Madrid value Ronaldo at £18m and wanted midfielder Kaka to be included in the deal, but the Via Turati club was not willing to offer more than £10m, with no player in exchange.

Spanish newspapers AS and Marca both stated on Thursday that Kaka was the main obstacle to a positive outcome of the negotiations between the two clubs.

The Diavoli are now forced to change their plans and may formalise their offer for Udinese’s Vincenzo Iaquinta, rumoured to be worth £7m plus striker Marco Borriello.

David Trezeguet and Adriano are also on Milan’s shortlist, but Juventus don’t intend to let the Frenchman leave and Inter are not keen on selling to their direct competitors.

Milan’s summer market has not yet scored a top level signing, after losing Hernan Crespo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to rivals Nerazzurri.

give up....
trezeguet and adriano??

sorry to break some hearts here but I think that this is yet another source coming out with news from ... yesterday. A lot of site/papers are simply reiterrating yesterday's news today and this only adds to the confusion, I believe. Today, there is supposed to be a second meeting between Real and Milan officials at 10.00 am CET ... which means the meeting should have finished by now ... but there doesn't seemto be any news on the results from that second meeting - websites so far are just changing the titles of their articles but once you open the article, you realise there is nothing new in there.
My guees is the first to report the latest news would be one of www.calciomercato.com or www.gazzetta.it/calcio ... so, I would be on the look out for one of them or better yet both
