Chelsea in fight for £70m Ron
-
CHELSEA face a £70million dogfight with AC Milan after Barcelona decided to sell Ronaldinho.
SunSport can reveal the Catalan giants will cash in on the Brazil idol, who was booed by Nou Camp fans last Sunday.
Barca have run out of patience with Ronaldinho following a drop in performances.
He has also had a row with striker Samuel EtoÂ’o and boss Frank Rijkaard.
Barca could offload him in the winter transfer window — with Chelsea best poised to pounce.
A top Nou Camp source said: “Ronaldinho’s period at Barcelona is coming to an end. It’s no longer a question of if, but when they sell.”
Chelsea agreed terms with RonaldinhoÂ’s brother Roberto Assis in August, as revealed by SunSport.
Milan have earmarked a £70m bid but cannot match the £11.6m-a-year salary Chelsea offered. -
if there's ever a fight between Milan and Chelsea over R10, Milan would win. why? Brazilian galore.
but some reports contradict the rumours.
Barca: End ‘Dinho talk
Barcelona have called for an end to Press reports linking Brazilian star Ronaldinho with a move to Milan.
The Selecao midfield ace is rumoured to be unhappy with the Blaugranas and was jeered by fans during last SundayÂ’s win over Almeria.
Some sources suggested that the breakdown in relations between the 27-year-old and the club that once adored him could lead to a huge January transfer.
However, the La Liga giants are defiant that the ex-PSG man wonÂ’t be leaving even if the Rossoneri come calling.
“Ronaldinho is not for sale, neither in December, nor June,” Barcelona Vice-President Ferran Soriano told La Vanguardia.
“He has had some problems with his game, but that’s inevitable and we have never considered selling him.”
Milan sporting director Ariedo Braida has also poured scorn upon the speculation.
“This news is simply nonsense and we don’t want to waste time on the subject,” he told Ona FM. -

Why would anyone one to pay $70m pounds for a player that his best days may have past already? Even if it hasn't, how many more yrs can he play at the top level... 2, 3... And don't forget, his salary will be $200,00 per week... higher than the current highest presently Terry at $135,000...
Its suicidal to pay such a huge sum for a player that will probably not have a re-sale value by the time his contract expires... Didn't they learn something from the Shevchenko deal already? But to be fair, i can understand if Chelsea still want to get him cos they are rich, and can afford it. Only Peter Kenyon will have a hard time balancing the books and trying to make them profittable by 2010. But AC Milan? They are going to blow all their transfer fund on a player and neglect their other departments which need renewal?
Anyway, chelsea could also find themselves in another problem... What if Ron come over and cannot play well in his first season while other players does... will they also ask to be paid $200,000 like in the case of Terry, Lampard and Robben after watching Shevchenko and Ballack being the highest paid but not deserving it?
Problems will start in the dressing room... -

Chelsea alone in Ronaldinho race
The chances of Ronaldinho swapping Barcelona for Chelsea have improved after a Milan source said their priority was to sign a striker rather than a playmaker, which they already possess in Kaka. The Italian club were perceived to be Chelsea's primary rivals in the pursuit of the Brazilian, who is becoming marginalised at Camp Nou. However, a source at Milan has confirmed that an attacking midfielder would not be their priority either during the mid-winter transfer window or at the end of the current season.
Instead the source at Milan, who are currently 13th in Serie A after a dismal start to the domestic season, said the club would target a ball-winning centre-forward in the mould of Didier Drogba, after seeing Ronaldo, Filippo Inzaghi and Alberto Gilardino struggle this season.
That would, theoretically, leave Chelsea as the main suitors for Ronaldinho, with their owner, Roman Abramovich, having long targeted the Brazilian as a player who could supply the guile and effervescence he has been seeking at Stamford Bridge. Barca have valued him at £43m but would probably accept a substantial offer.
Abramovich met the player's brother, Roberto Assis in August and Chelsea are one of the few clubs able to match Ronaldinho's and Barça's financial demands. Other senior figures at Stamford Bridge are understood to be doubtful over whether a move for the 27-year-old would be advisable, particularly given the Premiership club's desire to streamline its business.
Milan know where their place is and back-out... How to go against Chelsea... Roman can buy the whole Milan club and you can throw in Inter and he can still afford... -
ask him come s-league la
-
once again.. chelsea gonna get 'scammed'...
at least AC Milan is more realistic.. they can bring in 2-3 first class players with that amount of money spend.. -
fark roman la..pay so much for him when can buy 3 other top class players.

Nvm lah... afterall he is still very rich... And Ronny is still a good player at least for another 2 to 3 yrs...Originally posted by stellazio:fark roman la..pay so much for him when can buy 3 other top class players.
