Ronaldinho snubs City for Milan

July 16, 2008

Manchester City fans can come back down to earth now as the impossible hasn’t quite happened, Ronaldinho will not be going to Eastlands. Instead the want-away Barcelona player looks like he will be joining AC Milan if the Italian club’s website is anything to go by:

AC Milan and Barcelona have reached an agreement in principle over the transfer of Ronaldinho.

The player will be in Milan on Wednesday to undergo a medical and sign a contract that will keep him at Milan until 30 June 2011.

Manchester City had offered a fee of £25.5 million for the Brazilian former two-time world player of the year. Despite City’s impressive offer, according to the Italian press, Milan will only pay Barca £14.6 million for the Brazilian’s signature. That figure is expected to rise however based on appearances.

Manchester City will now have to look elsewhere for that injection of flare.
