A source close to SoccerAge can reveal that Inter president Massimo Moratti is willing to allow Ronaldo to join Real Madrid for less than his original asking price.
The relationship between the player, his coach Hector Cuper and some of the other players seems to be beyond repair, and it looks to have got to the point where keeping the Brazilian on would be damaging to dressing room morale.
Therefore Moratti has decided that he will attempt to resume talks with his Real counterpart Fiorentino Perez and will no longer ask for 100 million euros, but instead 65-70 million.
Meanwhile, Inter are already eyeing possible replacements, with Marco Di Vaio and Enrico Chiesa heading the queue.

Ever heard of the law of supply and demand? What Moratti wants for Ronaldo is pretty immaterial. What he'll get is what someone is willing to pay, and not a penny more. And as Ronaldo has now, deliberately I suspect, manouevred Inter into a position where his remaining with the club is more or less untenable, Moratti finds himself caught somewhere between a rock and a hard place. All of which leads me to suspect that, at the end of the day, the Spanish fascist club (that's Real Madrid to you) will be back in with a bid considerably less than the one previously mooted, and a bid that Moratti may be forced to accept. As there are going to be very few other prospective buyers in the current economic climate, the only real alternative is to loan him out somewhere for a year and hope the market picks up in the meantime, which is the other thing that might happen.
As for Ronaldo himself, the world's greatest footballer may be but on the other hand, a disloyal, ungrateful, toe rag with an unimagineably stupid haircut keeping a very low IQ warm a few inches below. He and the fascists deserve each other.
