Real Madrid pledge AC Milan to re-bid Ronaldo

Real Madrid urged AC Milan to make a new offer for Ronaldo yesterday, it has been revealed.

After rejecting their £10 million bid last week, Real invited Milan to try again with an improved offer, but transfers chief Ariedo Braida ruled out trying again, says Il Giornale.
Ronaldo sought answers from Real sports chief Predrag Mijatovic as why the deal fell over and was reportedly told that given the sale of Andriy Shevchenko, they expected a bigger offer in the region of £17 million from Milan.
The Brazilian, through intermediaries, informed Braida of Real's motives, but he replied to Ronaldo: "I'm sorry, but it's much too late to do anything.
"We won't go higher than what we have offered."
