Ronaldo To Retire In The Summer?

Forever-injured Rossoneri striker Ronaldo is set to retire from football at the end of the season, according to unconfirmed reports in Milan.



The Brazilian has had a nightmare of a season due to injuries, making just one start before Christmas.

It seemed that his fitness was improving though when he lined up against Napoli in week 18 and scored two goals in a 5-2 win.

He impressed again the following week at Udinese, however then the injuries started to re-appear, and most recently he was forced off at half-time during Sunday’s match with Siena due to physical problems.

Ronaldo is definitely out of tomorrow’s clash with Livorno, and he is also a huge doubt for the weekend match with Parma and the Champions League tie with Arsenal in London.

The 31-year-old is said to be desperately depressed at continually picking up injuries and is ready to retire from the game altogether in the summer.

El Fenomeno’s contract at San Siro runs out in June, and the club is unwilling to offer him a new deal unless he can prove his fitness.

This is looking increasingly unlikely, although Ronaldo will have the option to return home and play for Flamengo.

As a replacement Milan are considering bringing back Marco Borriello or Nicola Pozzi, who are currently at Genoa and Empoli respectively. Another option is Chelsea’s Didier Drogba.
