Ronaldo agent denies Kashima link

Ronaldo's agent has denied reports the former Brazil forward has been approached by Japanese side Kashima Antlers.

The 31-year-old's representative Fabiano Farah claims the player, who was released by AC Milan at the end of last season, is focusing fully on getting 100% fit after a cruciate ligament injury.

Farah told Globoesporte: 'There is nothing to tell about Kashima Antlers. Nobody asked me about Ronaldo.

'Nobody from the board called me or even intermediaries. His priority now is to recover.'

Ronaldo is still recovering from a left-knee operation he underwent in February in southern Spain with specialist physiotherapist Bruno Mazziotti.

'He has been doing three sessions a day for the last three weeks,' Farah added.

'Besides, in the last couple of days he is playing tennis. The other day he played a two-and-a-half-hour match and didn't feel anything. That proves he is all right.

'Ronaldo has to make a final exam in Paris in mid-August to know exactly the date of his return to the pitch.'
