 | French league side Paris Saint Germain have joined the race to sign Brazilian star Ronaldo, who according to a report Saturday could end his latest injury nightmare in less than two months' time. |
The career of the former Real Madrid and AC Milan striker, who is currently without a club, came to a shuddering halt earlier this year when he seriously injured knee ligaments.After returning to full training with Brazilian side Flamengo at the end of September, the two-time World Cup winner hinted he would welcome a spell at PSG in a bid to relaunch his career. Speaking to Saturday's edition of L'Equipe newspaper, the player's agent Fabiano Farah, said Ronaldo has been training with Flamengo's first team and was "almost certain" to soon regain full fitness. And he said the former Ballon d'Or and world player of the year would be looking to join a club with ambition. "Ronaldo is making huge sacrifices to regain full fitness, and at this point we're practically sure he will succeed," Farah told the paper. "Given his status and what he has achieved he is looking to join a club with ambition that will give him the chance to win titles. "I've already spoken to PSG." Although PSG sent their chief scout, Alain Roche, to Brazil last week the French side are likely to face stiff competition for Ronaldo's signature. Manchester City, who signed Brazilian Robinho from Real Madrid earlier this season, are said to be in the hunt while Serie A side Roma are also watching the situation closely according to L'Equipe. PSG are battling to end years of under-achieving in both the French league and Europe, but Ronaldo's mind could be made up by the practicalities. He already owns an apartment in Paris and, according to the report, wants his partner, Bia Antony, who is pregnant, to give birth in the French capital this December. Farah added: "We can see that PSG is on its way back to being a big team. That could interest Ronaldo. "But before thinking about signing for anybody, he has to concentrate on getting back to 100 percent, and being competitive. That's the priority."
