Ronaldinho has spoken publicly about his hopes of joining Milan to play alongside Brazil teammate Kaka.
“I am happy at Barcelona, but in the future you never know what will happen,” said the 2005 Ballon d’Or winner.
The Rossoneri have made absolutely no secret of their intention to make a huge summer bid for Ronaldinho, with vice-President Adriano Galliani assuring they are “in super pole position should he leave Barca.”
Fellow Selecao stars Ronaldo and Kaka have also confirmed they rang up the player to recommend a move to the San Siro.
“It was a nice gesture,” he smiled. “Playing with Kaka is absolute pure joy.”
The two players are currently together for international duty in a tour of Sweden and it is the perfect opportunity to file away the final doubts.
“We have spoken about Milan and will do so again during this tour. But do not ask me for miracles,” confessed Kaka.
“I have many wonderful things to tell him, but after that it is down to the club to enter the fray.”
Milan are stepping up their bid for Ronaldinho after rumours that Inter were trying to intervene and snatch away the superstar.
Reports suggest that Nerazzurri director Marco Branca called up agent Roberto Assis – Ronaldinho’s brother and also agent of Milan striker Ricardo Oliveira – to discuss the possibility of their own proposal.
These claims were given credence by Rossoneri President Silvio Berlusconi. “If Ronaldinho leaves Barcelona, then we are taking him. The buy-out clause in his contract is not a problem. The important thing is to snatch him away from Inter.”
It’s believed that Ronaldinho’s buy-out clause for his contract that expires in 2010 is a staggering £84m.
