After his 8 goal in the World Cup 2002 which helped Brazil to a fifth world cup title, the so-called "Ronaldo-soap series" started. Ronaldo told about his desire to play for Real Madrid and after 4-5 negotiations between Real Madrid and Inter Milan, with the last negotiations being finalized 30 minutes before deadline for the transfer market, Ronaldo was a Real Madrid player. The deal itself nearly got broken down by President Gaspart of Barcelona who thought he could fool Perez, by the Inter Milan - Barcelona agreement which went on about Barcelona buying Morientes off Inter Milan when he (Morientes) went to Inter as part of the exchange pack. Gaspart told Inter Milan 2 hours before the transfer deadline that they no longer was interested in buying Morientes as agreed upon (when has a member of Barcelona ever upheld his word), Inter who just had bought Crespo for a big bag of money suddenly was in trouble, but Perez worked out a deal in the last minute and saved the day for Inter Milan and Ronaldo.
