Brazilian football legend Ronaldo could soon make his maiden visit to India.
The ‘original Ronaldo’ has been invited by his former national and Real Madrid teammate Roberto Carlos to be the special guest in one of the Delhi Dynamos' Indian Super League (ISL) games.
Carlos is the marquee manager-cum-player of ISL outfit Delhi Dynamos, whose match against
NorthEast United in New Delhi on Tuesday will be watched by star British boxer Amir Khan.
"Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo are like best friends. Carlos calls him every day and invited him to see Dynamos play," said Renatta Millington, Delhi Dynamos' media manager, who also doubles up as the Portuguese speaking Carlos' translator.
Asked if 39-year-old Ronaldo is interested in visiting India, Millington responded in positive.
Ronaldo and Carlos were part of the Brazilian team that won the Cafu-led 2002 World Cup four years after their humiliating loss in the 1998 final.
Carlos and Ronaldo were also the integral part of Real Madrid's famed ‘Galacticos’ squad.
