Football: Ronaldo staying put in Italy

Ronaldo, the Internazionale striker, has rejected a suggestion by his fellow Brazilian, Roberto Carlos, that he would return to Spain next season in an interview published yesterday by the sports newspaper Marca .

"Right now I'm not thinking of leaving Italy," said Ronaldo, who quashed rumours of an impending move to Real Madrid, the club where Roberto Carlos plays. "It seems that Roberto knows more than I do."

Ronaldo, who played for Barcelona last season, is currently filming a television advertisement in Tenerife.
