Adriano swap back on for Real Madrid's Ronaldo

A swap involving Inter Milan striker Adriano and Real Madrid's Ronaldo is again gathering pace.

Adriano's substitution in Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Parma and his show of protest towards coach Roberto Mancini has fueled speculation in Italy that club patron Massimo Moratti is pushing for a swap to bring Ronaldo back to the club in exchange.
Adriano was the first to leave training at Inter's Apiano Gentile HQ yesterday and his behaviour has left Moratti unimpressed.
But Inter may've left their bid too late as in the last fortnight Real president Fernando Martin has held a series of meetings with Ronaldo to assure him of his future at the Madrid giants beyond this season.
