Ronaldhino "Agrees" terms with AC Milan

[KURUPTION-81]

Barcelona's Ronaldinho has reportedly agreed initial terms with Italian giants AC Milan, according to his brother and agent Roberto de Assis.

The Brazilian, 28, is set to miss the rest of the season with injury but is said to be disillusioned with life at the Nou Camp and keen for a move.

De Assis insisted it was not yet a done deal but said: "Basically, Ronaldinho and Milan have come to an agreement.

"He was impressed with first contact with them, they are a great team."

Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani said: "There is a general agreement with the player. Now a deal has to be reached with Barcelona. Give us time."

The forward has also been linked with a move to Manchester City after De Assis was a guest at the home game against Chelsea.

But De Assis claims the meetings at Eastlands were regarding "personal matters" and did not concern his brother.

And he now believes only a fee needs to be agreed with Barca for the two-time world player of the year to make the move to Italy a reality.

He added: "The important thing is that he will be happy. When will a deal be finalised? You have to be patient."

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted on Friday he would like to bring both Ronaldinho and Chelsea's out of favour striker Andriy Shevchenko to the San Siro next season.

Milan are fifth in Serie A and in danger of missing next year's Champions League after a poor season.

They were knocked out of this year's Champions League as holders by Arsenal in the first knockout round.

And Ancelotti's men have struggled to score and create goals with Brazilian Ronaldo playing just a handful of games before being ruled out long term with a knee injury.

Hmm, interesting.

I think a move would do good for Ronnie, as long as it's not to Chelsea or any other Premiership clubs - except Gunners, which would never happen.
But I don't think he'd be happy if they don't make it to the CL.

On a sidenote, Sheva needs to get the fuck outta the Bridge - and let's hope Roman's rubles hasn't ruined his career and goalscoring ability.

"He was impressed with first contact with them, they are a great team."

with a contract of 8 millions per year until 2012......
p.s. milan is an old team now

^You can't really call him a flop, that's wrong.

Every player has a "downseason".

he wasn't injured,so what's the problem ?
his lifestyle during the last 2 years....

^^^^ Same thing happened when he was playing for Paris .. great debut then fell in love with the night life .. as much as he's talented , he's not a great professional .. this is the difference between the best and great players .. the best are always hungry and want to prove more while VERY talented players don't care after some time

ronaldinho 2 years ago was the BEST....

[wcsoldier]

^^^^ yep BUT 2 years ago .. I meant the best through his whole carreer ... he didn't do much to stay on top and maintain his level

He's got no discipline... he fell off like Eminem. Could somebody explain why in the fuck he just wants to play for AC Milan, like this was a particulary great club at the moment? That type of shit pisses me off. 20 Mil for him is nothing.. a lot of clubs would have happily paid this.

yup couldnt agree more.. i read an article before Barca's game with Schalke the other night and it basically underlined that Deco's, Ronaldinho's and R Marquez's commitment was terrible.. It had a statement in there from Barca's president saying, they have players that want to win and players that want to win for themselves.. and pretty much pointed out that Ronaldinho had missed a large amount of training sessions throughout the season due to other activities..
