Manchester City hope to land Ronaldinho in a knockdown £10 million deal from AC Milan.
The Mirror says City were humiliated when their attempt to land Brazilian superstar Kaka in a world record deal in January flopped.
But they should have more luck with Ronaldinho who would team up with fellow countrymen Robinho and Elano at Eastlands.
Ronaldinho has two years left on a £6million-per-year contract he signed last summer as part of a £16m move from Barcelona.
But Milan will be ready to let him go for around £10m.
