Many Barcelona fans are starting to worry about idol Ronaldinho leaving for AC Milan.

The Italian giants have been interested in Ronaldinho for two years now, and there have been several contacts between Milan and Roberto de Assis, brother and agent of the Brazilian megastar.

On Tuesday Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that Silvio Berlusconi, owner of AC Milan, had lunch recently with Ronaldinho's brother - to talk about the possibility of a move to the San Siro.

Barca fans are already worried at this prospect.

An online poll taken by Catalan sports paper Mundo Deportivo shows that 56 per cent of fans are 'very worried' about the prospect of Ronaldinho wanting to leave Camp Nou in the near future.

Only a small minority of readers, 11.6 per cent, think that Barca should 'take advantage of Ronaldinho's high market value and sell him straight away.'

According to the poll, only 28 per cent of Barca fans believe that Ronaldinho will still be wearing the famous red-and-blue striped shirt 'in five years' time.'

Santi Nolla, editor of Mundo Deportivo, comments that 'these fears are understandable, given the historic inability of Barca to hold on to their top foreign players.'

Milan-Ronaldinho, l'affare avanza
Per il brasiliano pronti 12 mln l'anno

L'approdo di Ronaldinho a Milano, sponda rossonera, nella prossima estate appare sempre più probabile. Da Barcellona, infatti, i tentennamenti aumentano sul rinnovo del contratto del brasiliano ("Non c'è alcuna fretta", ha detto il vicepresidente blaugrana Ferran), mentre in via Turati sembrano pronti ad accettare la richiesta del pallone d'oro di un contratto quinquennale ad una cifra di 12 milioni l'anno.

I due innamorati sono sempre più vicini ed il matrimonio potrebbe presto consumarsi. Sono sempre più insistenti le voci sul passaggio di Ronaldinho al Milan nell'estate prossima ed anche da Barcellona, ora, iniziano a temere che l'affare si farà. Il rinnovo del contratto, che sembrava una pura formalità, è diventato complicato e non è stato anche formalizzato.
Molti dirigenti del club catalano, infatti, sono perplessi per l'aumento del compenso economico del brasiliano, da 9 a 12 milioni di euro netti l'anno, poi c'è la questione del diritto d'immagine. Ronaldinho vuole almeno una parte sostanziosa dei ricavi che porta al Barça grazie al suo nome, mentre i blaugrana vorrebbero escluderli nel nuovo contratto.

Il Milan sembra pronto a dire sì ad entrambe le richieste del giocatore: i 12 milioni di euro per cinque anni ed i diritti d'immagine completamente nel portafoglio del giocatore. Ronaldinho è l'unico calciatore per cui Berlusconi è disposto a fare follie, sapendo che nel giro di 3/4 anni i soldi spesi torneranno nelle casse della società rossonera per i guadagni che produrrebbe, in termine di merchandising, abbonamenti e tour mondiali, il giocatore.
==========================================================


it would take an extravagant 12 mil/year contract with image rights to capture Ronnie, and it seems that Silvio is willing to do that insanity to bring the magician to Milan!

For the same investment and cost for Dinho I would prefer to spend on Zambrotta, Buffon, Drogba and another good CB.

Here, Here!

But....what if Silvio wants them all....

We better stop dreaming and start concentrating on what we have right now. Ronaldinho will NOT come, it is still pure fantasy. I dont care even if they say Berlusconi will spend 250million, it simply wont happen. Start thinking maturely will you guys? 12m a season? in 4 seasons he would have earned 48m, with all that money we could buy every single youth talent in those 4 yrs, and some might even be better than Ronaldinho.

That 48m is ONLY the money that he earns from salary, dont forget the money that we will give Barca, let's say 120m? For arguement sake i'll say 80m. Please instead of just seeing that as a number, trying actually thinking of how much that actually is and what you can do with that money. Especially if you were an ex-Prime minister and you are trying to return to ur position.

People would not want him to be their leader after they see him spending money so stupidly. What would he do if his country went in war? Some of you may argue and say that what I am saying has nothing to do at all with this topic, but you guys should remember that Berlusconi initially started thinking of buying Ronaldinho just because of his image, just to say to people "BECAUSE I CAN". He likes to demonstrate that he is a powerful person and gets what he needs, and he thinks that by this way he will win over peoples hearts.

Besides, we all know our management how hard it is for them to spend an extra pound on any player, so I find it hard for them to give a go ahead for this deal. If I was managing Milan, and I was given a crazy amount to buy players I would most definitely go for Alves, Zambrotta(Marcelo), Diarra, Eto'o(Messi, Cassano, Robinho) instead of splashing it all on one player who would not even be the best player in AC Milan if he were to join!

Agreed! His sale is going to affect our other tranfers. Berlu will definitely finance the need of our defence as well as Ronaldinho!

------------

I feel kind of sick defending Ronaldinho's INEVITABLE purchase.... makes me appear like a phan but as I have mentioned earlier it's inevitable so we have to learn to live with it (him). Besides he is a quality player maybe he is getting blinkered day by day but he still has lots of years and high skills in him.

I remmeber when this rumour had started no one beleived it at all. It was considered as a show so that the world would know who the hell we are (due to our scattering image as a result of Moggipoli). Now he looks closer to Milan than ever. Probably the coming summer or in the 2008 winter he will join us.

--------------------

Where is Giovanni and other knowledgeable Italians when you need them the most?

If ronaldinho comes milan will be a super-team!
Milan will have the best midfielders on the world kaka-ronaldinho
and the world champioships gattuso-pirlo!
MILAN WILL DO GREAT THINGS GUYS!

Its geting confusing really! So many Milan players have said things about Ronaldinho and him joining us but for now nothing is going to happen as per Galliani and Ancelotti!

RONALDINHO SOLO UN SOGNO - Alla vigilia della sfida di Genova contro la Sampdoria (domani alle ore 18), il tecnico del Milan, onoreficenze a parte, conferma il suo pragmatismo, volando basso, anzi, bassissimo quando si parla di Ronaldinho, preferendo disquisire dei blucerchiati: classica partita da bivio. Nel senso che uscire da Marassi senza punti, ma anche con uno solo, sarebbe distruttivo. "Ronaldinho stimola la fantasia di quelli a cui piace il calcio, da parte mia è sicuramente apprezzato", dice il tecnico del Milan sull'asso brasiliano, sottolineando di apprezzarlo da punto di vista estetico e niente più. Anche perché l'amministratore Adriano Galliani ribadisce a Milanello che il "Gaucho" è del Barcellona e da lì non si muoverà. "Resterà in Spagna - ha dichiarato il dirigente rossonero a Milan Channel -. Noi non vogliamo fare ad altri quello che non vogliamo venga fatto a noi. Ronaldinho è assolutamente e a tutti gli effetti, e resterà, un giocatore del Barcellona. Basta, nessuna azione di disturbo. Il Barcellona non ha alcuna intenzione di privarsene e non esiste alcuna trattativa".

ANCELOTTI FIDUCIOSO - Al Ferraris sarà molto dura. Soprattutto adesso che Walter Novellino pare aver trovato l'assetto giusto. Ancelotti, che conosce il suo gruppo, sostiene che "non sarà l'ultima spiaggia". Secondo l'allenatore rossonero "il campionato è ancora lunghissimo e ci sarà modo di rimediare anche se il Milan non vincerà a Genova". La Samp, bestia nera dei rossoneri nel torneo 2005-06, arriva dopo due pareggi consecutivi, senza gol, in campionato. Ancelotti rammenta bene e alza la guardia: "L'anno scorso ci ha creato più di un problema, perché contro di loro abbiamo lasciato per strada 4 punti su 6. È una delle squadre che ci ha creato più difficoltà e adesso è in crescita. Ha vinto e ha grande entusiasmo".
Ma Ancelotti è fiducioso, perché il Milan è destinato a crescere e migliorare". Con la partita di Genova, si inaugura un ciclo di gare mozzafiato: l'Anderlecht in Champions, il Palermo a San Siro, la trasferta in casa del Chievo e il derby con l'Inter. Esssenziale, quindi, un ragionato turnover, a cominciare da domani dove a Pirlo sarà dato un turno di riposo. Ancelotti torna a parlare anche dell'arbitrato: "Speriamo che vada tutto per il meglio. Abbiamo aspettato tanto tempo, aspetteremo fino alla fine di ottobre".

As it is from gazzetta it has to be trusted.

It is now said Berrlu is pushing 60 million pound for Ronaldhinho. This is getting pretty serious

I think we shouldn't waste our time discussing on this thread until we come across some quotes from big guys or a report in a big newspaper
