RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- Star striker for Corinthians, Ronaldo declared his support on Monday for the Brazilian team to sign Adriano in 2011.

Ronaldo's statement was in response to a hypothetical question regarding who in Europe he believes would be best with Corinthians.

Ronaldo said that Adriano, also known as the Emperor, a nickname given to him while playing for Italy's Internazionale, has the perfect profile of a Corinthians player. He highlighted Adriano's characteristics of a warrior and someone who is able to overcome obstacles.

Adriano currently plays for Roma. Despite his dismal performance with the team, the possibility of him transferring back to Brazil next season is unlikely. However, Ronaldo was a key member of Corinthians' successful signing of midfielder Roberto Carlos in 2010.
