Ronaldinho agent: "Milan tonight!"
Monday 14 July, 2008

Barcelona may want to push Ronaldinho to Manchester City, but his agent says a move to Milan could be completed tonight.

“Things are going well. They could not have gone better,” Roberto De Assis told journalists outside a hotel in the Spanish city where he was in talks with the general manager.

“Will it all be resolved by this evening? We'll see. At the moment he is still a Barcelona player.”

The statements provide a stark contrast to those of Barca President Joan Laporta, who is desperately trying to steer the player towards Manchester City.

This is because the Eastlands side has offered £25.5m compared to just £8m from the Rossoneri.

"Ronaldinho and his agent have two interesting proposals and they are leaning more towards the one from City," Laporta told Catalunya Radio.

“Ronaldinho will leave, even if we should not forget he was an important figure for this club and decisive to many successes.”

The Brazilian has not turned up to pre-season training with the Nou Camp side and remained in Porto Alegre to work solo.

That decision pushes the matter to a turning point and transfer guru Claudio Pasqualin also believes it is D-Day.

“It really seems as if today is the day for Ronaldinho to become a Milan player, therefore achieving his dream,” he told Radio Kiss Kiss.
