Sorry Citizens, it appears 'Dinho is heading to Milan, if you believe the press today. Apparently Milan themselves and the player's agent have taken it on themselves to announce the move.
I read the other day that both he and Marquez (think thats the fella, the Mexican lad) were on borrowed time as far as Barca were concerned. Both of them "injured" officially, but really they have just been sidelined and told they wont play for Barca again allegedly.
Quote:
Milan have agreed a deal with Barcelona and Ronaldinho’s brother and agent Roberto De Assis that looks as though it may see the Brazilian line up for the Rossoneri next season...
Reports from both Italy and Spain have suggested that a deal has been reached between both parties for the Brazilian star.
Onda Catalana Radio have claimed that Milan director Adriano Galliani had flown to Barcelona on Thursday and that a meeting took place between him, De Assis, Ernesto Bronzetti and Barcelona director Txiki Beguiristain.
It seems as if Ronaldinho’s brother has been asked the Blaugrana permission to begin working towards a deal which will see the Brazilian move to Italy.
At the moment Roanldinho is tied to the club until 2010 and he has a sensational buy out clause of €125 million. However, it seems as though €20 million will be enough to secure the player’s passage to Milan.
Ronaldinho has been a target for Milan for quite some time and he has been on their transfer wish list since he was at Brazilian side Gremio.
Galliani as well as Silvio Berlusconi have stepped up their interest in 'Gaucho' during his decline in Catalonia, and though they briefly rebuffed the idea of signing him earlier this year, they soon renewed their interest and it seems as if they have now finally got their man.
