Soccer-Serie A's Siena trying to tempt Brazilian Ronaldo

ROME, Oct 31 - Siena are trying to tempt Brazilian
striker Ronaldo back to Serie A with a pay-per-goal deal, club
president Giovanni Lombardi Stronati has said.

The 32-year-old free agent has been on a rehabilitation
programme at Brazilian side Flamengo since August and has almost
fully recovered from a career-threatening knee injury he
suffered playing for AC Milan in February.

"(Signing Ronaldo) is an idea we are working on," Lombardi
Stronati, whose side are three points above the Serie A
relegation zone in 13th place, was quoted as saying by Friday's
La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"They tell me he's really thinking of retiring, but I'd like
to offer him another chance.

"I've spoken to his manager and proposed a contract of
100,000 euros ($130,600) per goal. Ronaldo's goals could save
Siena."
