  Ronaldinho expected to sign for Manchester City in next 48 hours

  

   

  Ronaldinho is expected to sign for Manchester City in the next 48 hours in a deal that will make him the world's highest-paid player.

  City were granted permission by Barcelona yesterday to open talks with the Brazilian star as representatives of Blues chairman Thaksin Shinawatra touched down in Ronaldinho's hometown of Porto Alegre to table an offer to the 28-year-old.

  City have not yet agreed a fee with Barca, but that will not be a problem given they are set to meet his £200,000-a-week wage demand.

  City hope that an deal can be sealed over the weekend - and that Ronaldinho will then fly to Manchester to be unveiled to his new public.

  He will be the sensational start to a spree City's Thai owner has vowed to fund for new boss Mark Hughes.
