Real Valladolid owner Ronaldo says that he would 'love' to take Vinicius Junior on loan from his former club Real Madrid, but admitted that such a deal would be 'very difficult'.
Ronaldo took over as the majority owner of Valladolid in September. His new side made a strong start to the season but have since dropped to 12th with just one win in their last six matches, and only two sides in La Liga have scored fewer goals.
In his attempts to inject some attacking verve, Ronaldo has been in touch with his former club to see if there would be any chance of taking Vinicius on loan - but he admitted that it was a long shot.
