Fitness concerns over Ronaldo have forced AC Milan to revive their interest in Udinese striker Fabio Quagliarella.

ControCampo says Milan chiefs have already resigned themselves to losing Ronaldo for another month due to his fitness problems and there is now serious concerns it may drag on well into next year.

While happy with the promise of Alexandre Pato, Milan know they need to find a new forward capable of making an immediate impact and are again turning their sights to Quagliarella.

The Italy international will not be Cup-tied from Champions League action and Udinese won't stand in his way should a £15 million bid arrive from Milan for the prolific forward.
