Ronaldo insisted today that no agreement has yet been reached over his move from Inter Milan to Real Madrid.
The striker, who scored both goals as his country won a fifth World Cup with victory over Germany in Japan in June, hit back at Spanish press reports which suggested that both Inter and Real and already settled on the terms of the transfer.
"There is no agreement. I am a long way off my best form," said the Brazilian who arrived in Rio today to prepare for Brazil's friendly match with Paraguay in Fortaleza on August 21st having been deemed surplus to requirements by Inter for their Champions League clash on Wednesday night against Sporting Lisbon.
The Spanish sports daily Marcahad reported this morning that the fate of Ronaldo will be decided this weekend during a meeting on the Balearic Islands between Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and his Inter Milan counterpart Massimo Moratti.
It added that the two clubs have already ironed out much of the details of the transfer and all that remains is for the two men to meet to seal the Brazilian World Cup winner's fate.
Perez is currently on holiday in Palma, while Moratti regularly travels to nearby Formentera and it is reported that the meeting will take place on one of the Balearic Islands.
Reports hinted that Real are prepared to stump up 48 million for Ronaldo in addition to one or two other players - a long way off the €100m price tag Inter have placed around the star's neck.
However, Marcareported that Inter are prepared to reduce their asking price for the player who has made it clear he wants to leave Italy.
"It is not me who will call Florentino," Moratti told the newspaper.
"At present Ronaldo is worth €100 million, anything can happen in the future. We will see what happens in the coming days."
