AC Milan are willing to sell former European Footballer of the Year Ronaldinho for £6.8m.

The Brazil playmaker has six months remaining of his contract at the San Siro.

Gremio were reportedly keen to bring the former Barcelona and Paris St Germain star back to the club where he first started his career.

The Porto Alegre outfit believed they would be able to secure the 30-year-old on a free transfer in January.

However, Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani has insisted Ronaldinho will not be leaving unless their valuation is met.

"Whoever wants Ronaldinho has to pay eight million euros," said Galliani after meeting with the player's agent.


Is that worth a punt?
 
There is one English club it would be a bit reasonable to spend those money at Ronaldinho (whom might not have a huge transfer fee but will have a big wage bill). That is Liverpool, because they have nothing behind Torres. They need improvements in January and they have so poor coverage that Ronaldinho could give them that. They would get a loan with a option to sign until the end of season if they covered his wages too.

What might be a genius move for them is to sack Hodgson (or actually any club), replace him with Big Sam and then sign Ronaldinho. Big Sam was a genius in getting fallen stars back to somewhere close of their former glories at Bolton. Of course that wont happen :)
 
Why not .Beckham,Ronaldinho and if we can entice Zidane out of retirement.

A few years to late , dont want him now.
At his prime , best in the World
Thank you very much Peter fecking Kenyon
 
This just makes me so sad to see, that one of the worlds greatest talents, and at one point, arguably the best player in the world by some distance, at the age of 30, has been reduced to this; Should have been so much more...
 
We should have signed him then

Not now

Might not be the worst loan signing a la Larsson.

But 6 Million, not a chance.
 
He's too old to make the move to the PL. It takes time to bed in here and he's never in his life played at a league as physical as the EPL. Plus the weather doesn't suit him.

Wonder if LA Galaxy are still after him? I can see them putting up the money.
 
The reaction to this quote makes my head spin.

They're not saying they're ready to let him go, they're putting an unrealistic price on his head, nobody will pay €6.8m for him when they can have him for free in 6 months. This is Milan saying they're keeping him until the end of the season, not inviting a bid.
 
The most talented player I have seen "live".

What a bloody waste of career.
 
Look at his resume, call that a waste of a career, it's still better than probably anyone bar 10 modern players
 
Would be a bad influence on Anderson, imagine what he would do to the likes of Rafael, well clubs around Manchester would be coining it in if we signed him...
 
such a quality player but he seems to have gone really downwards in recent times
 
Towards the end of last season all the talk was of him being back to his best

He'd improved, but he was still a shadow of the player that was undeniably the best around for about two years

I still feel a bit robbed really. Just goes to show you can have all the talent in the world, don't couple it with application and you'll not be a player

So he never made it in your characteristically humble opinion?

I am sure he is very sorry that he let you down, Brad.

Ah Baldwin my oddly retarded friend, long time no speak

Wouldn't you say the fact I mentioned, just a sentence before, that he was "undeniably the best around for about two years" a bit of a give away that I felt he did indeed make it?

What he did from there was give up the focus and application, he became a far lesser footballer, and he's never been the same since

I am sure he is very sorry that he let you down, Brad.

I'm sure he is. He should be, it's his own legacy he's pissed down the toilet. He'll always be remembered for being a great player at one point in his career, but I think we should be talking about one of the very best who dominated his era
 
At his very best, i've never seen anyone better, not Messi, Zidane, Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi, Giggs, Scholes - nobody. Such a shame.
 
I think it definitely adds weight to the theory that mental attitude plays a significant role in a players trajectory and can be unrelated to natural talent
