Ronaldo Has Permission To Speak With Al-Ittihad!

According to Sunday’s electronic edition of popular Saudi financial daily ‘Al-Eqtesadiya’, Al-Ittihad have been given the green light by Real Madrid to talk to the Brazilian striker.

“We are dealing directly with the player now that we have secured the go-ahead signal from Real Madrid,” the Saudi club's chief was quoted as saying.

“I do personally hope that our strong willingness and commitment to secure the services of Ronaldo will finally pay off and ease the way towards getting his official agreement soon,” he added, without mentioning the financial terms of the proposed offer.

Ronaldo also has been linked with a Beckham-esque move to MLS, specifically to the New York Red Bulls. Those rumors, however, appear to be only that at this point.

Various reports on Sunday have also linked Ricardinho (Besiktas Istanbul) with a possible swoop should the Ronaldo deal fail to materialize. Inter's Luis Figo already has agreed to join Al-Ittihad at the end of the European season.

I think it will be a great mistake if Real Madrid sell Ronaldo. Because he is a great player and I think he still have ability to show something and bring glory to Real Madrid again if ge has got chance. So I think it will not be a good decission if Real Madrid allow him to leave. And I think Capello will understand it and keep him in the squad and will play him in the matches. Because all we know what Ronaldo can do when he is in form.
