Barca: Dinho talks continue
Tuesday 15 July, 2008

Barcelona have released a statement confirming negotiations with both Milan and Manchester City are continuing.

“During the day negotiations continued to decide the future of Ronaldinho,” read the official note.

“Representatives of FC Barcelona and the player had several different meetings to discuss the situation.

“The Brazilian has received offers from Manchester City and Milan. The different parties are still negotiating his contract.

“The club maintains its conviction that Ronaldinho will receive the exit he deserves after his great contribution to the side over the past five years.”

According to sources close to Barcelona quoted in Spanish news agency Efe, the club has rejected the £11m bid plus £3.5m 'variable' as still too low.

The player has made it absolutely clear he will only accept a move to Milan, but their bid remains considerably lower than Manchester City's £25.5m.

This evening Rossoneri lawyer Leandro Cantamessa stated that only details” separated Ronaldinho from making the move official.

This suggests negotiations are still on-going and Barca are trying to force Milan's hand to at least go close to the City offer.

"Details" separate Dinho and Milan
Ronaldinho is “just a few details” away from joining Milan, read a statement on the club's official website. More
