Ronaldo Is Not Leaving – Ancelotti
El Fenomeno has had a nightmare of a campaign, and has made just one appearance due to injury.
In the past couple of weeks he has been strongly linked with a move to Flamengo, with the Brazilian club claiming that Ronaldo wants to sign for them.
“Ronaldo has never expressed any desire to leave Milan in my presence,” Ancelotti told journalists at the Rossoneri’s training camp in Dubai.
“The talk about a possible move to Flamengo has been made up entirely in Brazil and has nothing to do with the player’s wishes.
“He is completely committed to Milan and he will continue to give his full commitment to trying to restart training with a ball.”
Ronaldo will be out of action for at least another three weeks with his latest injury and reports in the Italian press today claimed that the player had visited Vice-President Adriano Galliani and told him that he has no faith in the Milan medical staff.
The 31-year-old’s contract with the Rossoneri runs out at the end of the season, and it seems unlikely he will be offered a renewal unless he can prove his fitness between now and the summer.
Roma Target Richarlyson Signs New São Paulo Contract
Richarlyson, 25, signed the new contract over the Christmas period and São Paulo registered the details with the Brazilian authorities yesterday.
He has signed a three year deal, which will expire on the 20th December 2010.
AS Roma were thought to be close to agreeing a deal to sign Richarlyson in January and that was the reason he was initially summoned to São Paulo's headquarters.
However, club officials managed to persuade the midfielder that his immediate future still lies in Brazil and he signed the contract as his commitment to stay with the club ahead of their 2008 Copa Libertadores campaign.
São Paulo coach Muricy Ramalho sees Richarlyson as a key component of his side and was desperate to keep him at the club.
As well as playing as an attacking midfielder, he can also be used on the left of midfield or as a left wing-back, and it is this versatility that makes him so valuable to São Paulo.
Richarlyson comes from a proud footballing family; his father, Reinaldo Felisbino, played for Coritiba as a left-back in the 1980s and his brother, Alecsandro, plays for Cruzeiro, having spent some time on loan at Sporting Lisbon in Portugal last season.
Ancelotti warning for AC Milan keeper Dida
AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti insists under pressure goalkeeper Dida has his backing - but also warned the Brazilian that he isn't guaranteed a first team place.
The Brazil international is again underfire after recent performances and Ancelotti said from Dubai: "Dida has my confidence. Others have committed errors this season.
"But I also know that I have Zeljko Kalac, who is ready and willing."
Man Utd, Real Madrid circle for superkid Coutinho
Brazilian superkid Phillippe Coutinho is being followed by Manchester United.
United had the attacking midfielder scouted in last year's U15 South American championship, but face competition from Real Madrid and Benfica for the Vasco da Gama prospect.
Coutinho has been likened to Barcelona star Lionel Messi and says: "I have a long way to go to reach the level of Messi, but it is an honour to be compared with him.
"Actually, my real idol is Kaka, who plays in the same position as me."
