Ronaldo--the famous Brazilian player--may be moving on:

New Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has ruled out an approach for Brazilian ace by AC Milan or his former club Inter.

"Yesterday I spoke with Ronaldo for a while but it was a chat like with the rest (of the team). I don't see any possibility of Ronaldo joining Milan or Inter," Capello said on Thursday.

Speculation about Ronaldo's future has increased since Real president Ramon Calderon said earlier this week that Milan had made contact about signing the striker.

The Brazilian, who last season threatened to leave Madrid due to criticism from supporters, is reportedly considering leaving because he may lose his place in Madrid's attack next season to new signing Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Spanish reports have also suggested the Spanish club could offer Ronaldo to Milan in exchange for Kaka, whose arrival was promised by Calderon in campaigning for the club's presidential election in July.
