ROME, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Brazilian striker Ronaldo has said he is recovering well from a career-threatening knee injury and should return to training next week.

The clubless 32-year-old has been undergoing a rehabilitation programme at Brazilian team Flamengo since August as he battles for fitness after rupturing a tendon in his left knee during a Serie A game for AC Milan against Livorno in February.

"The muscles are still weak and at the moment I don't have the power to do all I want," Ronaldo told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"But the knee isn't giving me any pain and this is the most important thing.

"It's highly probable that I'll return to training with Flamengo on Monday."

The three-times World Player of the Year reiterated that Manchester City and Paris St Germain were possible future destinations for him.

"Paris is a city I love and PSG have a good project to win the title," he said.

"My great friend Robinho plays at City. We'll see, in recent days we have spoken about it but for the moment I'm just thinking about playing again. The rest will come after."

Last month, Ronaldo told the French sports daily L'Equipe he had been involved in talks with Manchester City.
