Milan captain Massimo Ambrosini criticised his club for the “rushed” sale of Kaka and warned Ronaldinho cannot carry the team.
Fans protested when Kaka was sold to Real Madrid for £60m last month and as yet no replacement has been found, although Luis Fabiano stated he was eager to join the Rossoneri.
“It all happened so quickly. It felt rushed and without any real planning behind it,” sniped Ambrosini in the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“It was decided out of nowhere to take this course of action, to sell the top player in order to balance the books.
“It can happen when a club ends every season in the red, but obviously it’s difficult for the fans to understand this sudden change of direction.”
President Silvio Berlusconi insisted Kaka’s sale would give Ronaldinho the opportunity to take a more commanding role, but Ambro isn’t convinced.
“Ronaldinho promised us all a great season and I believe him because we’re going towards the World Cup and he now cannot shake off the responsibilities handed to him after Kaka’s departure.
“In terms of personality, Ronaldinho needs to feel under pressure in order to give his best. Having said that, we must remember he can provide some elements to the team and not others…”
A centre-forward is still required and Milan are zeroing in on Confederations Cup top scorer Luis Fabiano.
