Real Madrid offered Ronaldo, Cassano to AC Milan

Real Madrid have offered Ronaldo and Antonio Cassano to AC Milan.

AS says talks were held between Real and Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani over 15 days during which they offered first option on Ronaldo and the sale of Cassano for this month's market.

However, Milan turned down the offer for both players, citing them being Cup-tied from the Champions League as the main reason for the decision.

Ronaldo has already told Real sports director Pedja Mijatovic he wants to stay in Madrid, but knows the club has been circulating his name around Europe since August and won't consider staying at a club that isn't fully committed to him.

Real coach Fabio Capello said: "I believe the club is right to speak with players as important as Ronaldo and decide the future of this player."
