Milan striker Ronaldo has stated for the first time since his cruciate knee ligament injury that his career is not over.
The former Brazil international picked up an awful knee injury in February and has been working on his rehabilitation since undergoing surgery.
Ronaldo is now hopeful he will be able to run again in the next few weeks and be fit earlier than expected, as he was tipped to be out of action for up to nine months.
The attacker’s contract with the Rossoneri is due to end next week Monday, and the 31-year-old does not know whether he will be offered a new deal.
“My knee is much better now,” Ronaldo told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “I am starting work to strengthen my muscles.
“I’ll be able to run within two or three weeks. I reckon I’m quite optimistic. I should be able to return earlier than expected even if it’s still premature to set a date.
“I want to play. I don’t know what to say [about his contract]. Milan never promised me anything. I regularly speak with [sporting director] Leonardo, but I’d like to have more contact with the club.”

Ronaldo Cut To The Quick Over Milan
Brazilian legend Ronaldo admits that he is disappointed with the way Milan have treated him since his career threatening injury in February. The striker is making a good recovery but he has grumbled after not hearing from the club.
The player has slowly made progress with his recovery as he continues with rehabilitation but he is not too happy with the lack of communication he has received from Milan.
Reports claim that his relationship with the Rossoneri maybe over when he finally recovers and it seems as if the player himself has had enough of being left in the lurch.“Milan have not made me any promises, every now and then I hear from Leonardo but that’s it,” Ronaldo told Stadio News.
“I would have liked to hear from the club a little more.”
Ronaldo’s future at Milan is uncertain and it seems as if the club will only take him back if he makes a full recovery.
He may go on to play in Brazil if he does not return to Serie A but there have been reports that he could move to English side Queens Park Rangers who, despite being in the second tier of English football, are backed by incredibly wealthy owners and are looking to push into the Premier league.
However, Rangers chief Flavio Briatore has all-but closed the possibility with a fairly harsh assessment of the legendary striker.
“Ronaldo? If he loses weight then we can talk,” concluded Briatore.
