Real Madrid chief: Inter Milan offered Adriano swap to us.

Real Madrid sports chief Predrag Mijatovic insists they never intended to sell Ronaldo over the summer.

"At no moment have we wanted to transfer him because if we had, there would have remained only one forward left here," said Mijatovic. "That would be illogical.

"He never wanted to leave and has shown this to us. I am convinced that we are going to see him return to his best. He is excited and I am sure that he will bring us many goals and joy. That will mean points.

"The exchange with Adriano was proposed by Inter."
