Brazil legends Ronaldo Nazario and Roberto Carlos are close to completing an ambitious takeover of Brazilian club Internacional de Limeira. The club's assembly overwhelmingly approved a multi-million proposal from an investor group featuring the iconic duo to acquire an 80 per cent stake in its SAF entity, paving the way for a major financial injection.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has reportedly made contact with the representatives of Santos starlet Robinho Jr. to discuss a potential future with the Azzurri. While the teenager has been on the radar of the Brazilian national team, his eligibility for Italy has opened the door to an international tug-of-war over his allegiance.
