Real to protest

AP, Zurich
Real Madrid said Thursday it planned to appeal a FIFA decision that it must pay Inter Milan another euro10 million (US$11.5 million) for the transfer of Brazilian striker Ronaldo.
On Wednesday, world soccer's ruling body said Real Madrid must pay the fee within 30 days but has the right to lodge an appeal to the FIFA Executive Committee within 20 days. FIFA said it had yet to receive Real Madrid's appeal, but added that it was unlikely to come until close to the deadline.
A Real Madrid spokeswoman said the club could not comment further for the moment.
FIFA said that, contrary to various figures reported Wednesday, the additional payment will bring to euro45 million (US$51.5 million) the total amount Real Madrid is having to pay Inter for the Brazilian striker.
The original deal in August 2002 was a euro35 million (now US$40 million) fee. However, Madrid was to pay an extra euro10 million if it refused to allow a player of Inter's
choice to join the Italian club in January 2003.
The Italian powerhouse had complained to FIFA that it was owed the supplemental fee because the player of its choice --
midfielder Santiago Solari -refused to move to Inter.
But according to a news report in the leading Spanish sports daily, Madrid said it feels it has a case because Inter made Solari a "ridiculous offer," which "infringed the terms of the transfer specified in the contract agreed by Madrid and Inter."
Inter Milan was forced to transfer Ronaldo, one of the world's best
strikers, to Real Madrid in the 2002 off season following his feud with Argentine coach Hector Cuper. His departure brought criticism from the Italian club, who said it was an act of betrayal.
Since Cuper was fired as Inter coach, Ronaldo has been quoted in the Italian press saying he would now consider returning to Inter at some point.
Inter president Massimo Moratti's latest response was that it is unlikely Ronaldo would return.
"We've chosen separate roads," Moratti said, "although it's nice to hear that from him."
Ronaldo, a three-time winner of the FIFA Player of the Year award, is currently the Spanish league's leading scorer. On Saturday, the Brazilian ended a three-game scoreless spell, netting twice to lead Real Madrid to a 3-0 home win over Athletic de Bilbao.
It brought his season tally to eight and lifted Real Madrid to the top of the Spanish league standings jointly with Valencia.
French soccer player Zinedine Zidane remains the world's most expensive player, moving to Real from Juventus at the end of the 2000-2001 season for US$65 million, still a record in the sport.
