Milan: Ronaldo joined AC Milan from Real Madrid on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old Brazil striker joined Milan until 2008 - the same length as the remainder of his contract at Madrid, the Italian team said. The clubs reportedly agreed to a euro7.5 million ($ 9.73 million) transfer fee.
Milan striker Ricardo Oliveira will reportedly move to Madrid on loan as part of the deal.
Ronaldo has arrived at the Bernabeu to sign the cancellation of his contract with Madrid, Spanish news agency Efe reported.
Ronaldo agreed to personal terms with Milan and on Friday passed a medical test in the Italian city, where he spent five years with Inter Milan.
Ronaldo, who hasn't been picked for Madrid since a January 7 defeat at Deportivo La Coruna, has said his difficulties with coach Fabio Capello have forced him to look elewhere.
He joined Madrid in 2002, winning the Spanish league at the end of his first season, but no major trophies since.
"I know that Ronaldo is Milan's," Capello was quoted as saying by Italian news agency ANSA. "I wish him good luck, that he does what he used to be able to do, that is be a great player."
He came close to joining Milan last Agust but the clubs failed to each an agreement. Milan offered euro 22 million ($ 28.5 million) but Madrid also wanted an option on Milan midfielder Kaka. Milan signed 26-year-old Oliveira to a five-year contract from Real Betis on the last day of the summer transfer window, following the original failed Ronaldo bid.
