MILAN - ''There's a 99% possibility that Ronaldo will stay at Inter."

Those were the words of Massimo Moratti the day after his meeting with Ronaldo . The Inter president doesn't seem to have any further doubts. The failure of negotiations with Real Madrid is due solely to an economic problem.

"Of course the solution has to be near, seeing as the thirty-first of August [transfer market deadline] is near," said Moratti.

"The club will not satisfy him just to satisfy him, we must have an economic advantage, otherwise he will stay with us. Real Madrid remained firm at the last offer made to me by Perez, which we did not accept."

If Ronaldo stays, will it be against his wishes?

"If he stays it depends on his own desires and on his professionalism," continued Moratti. "The team? The players are mature and Cuper knows what he has to do. I repeat, if Ronaldo leaves the club must gain an economic advantage. We'll wait to see if Real Madrid come forward with another offer. In any case, there's a 99% possibility that Ronaldo will stay with us, and the club is planning the future with him in the team."
