Ronaldinho wants Milan move
Barcelona forward Ronaldinho is still hopeful of moving to AC Milan even though the Serie A club's interest seemed to have waned, the player's agent and brother Roberto de Assis said.
"The chances that Ronaldinho will play for Milan next year are the same as they were a few months ago," de Assis told Sportal.it. "We know that Ronaldinho likes Milan and Milan like Ronaldinho and we'll keep working to take the world's best player to the world's greatest club."
Milan said in April that they had agreed personal terms with de Assis for Ronaldinho but the transfer broke down over Barcelona's asking price. Last week Chief Executive Adriano Galliani said Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor was the only striker Milan are chasing in the close season.
