No City For Ronaldinho

17 Jul 2008 389 entertainment, gossip
AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani doubts Ronaldinho will join Manchester City despite their £25.5million bid for the Brazilian. Milan have offered less than half that figure for the Barcelona forward - and wages of £100,000 less a week - but Ronaldinho is still expected to demand a move to Italy rather than Manchester. "If Barca does not see our offer to be adequate? We leave for Milan, but I doubt that Ronaldinho will go to play at (Manchester) City," said Galliani. Ronaldinho had a meeting with Barca boss Pep Guardiola on Monday and apparently told him that he would be gone by Friday. Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said: "The important thing is to have champions and Ronaldinho without a doubt is one of them." The arrival of Ronaldinho would be a big boost for the Serie A giants, who have failed to make a major signing so far this summer. Milan will therefore compete in the less glamorous UEFA Cup next season. "Quality is our trademark and it will continue to be whether Ronaldinho arrives or not. "Our aim is as usual to win while providing a good show. This is Milan."
