Besides that, I also think this is just another trick Galliani is playing on the fans to get them to buy tickets next year. The same way he was always talking about signing huge stars every single summer but end up delivering nothing. As we all know, transfer talks don't usually heat up until the season is over. So, for Galliani to wrap up the deals right now for both of these players just sounds fishy. This is especially true in Ronaldinho's case as his transfer would be a complicated one to complete considering the wages, transfer fees, and sponsor problems involved.

The prices may be off but I don't think that means the deal is just a rumour. Also Galiani and Berlu wouldn't say the things they have been quoted saying about this deal, if it wasn't very close to being completed. If this deal falls through they know that they'd better head for the hills or get ready for perhaps the biggest backlash of all times Milan Fans.
Especially after the idiotic handling of the recent transfer windows.
