Ronaldinho's Brother In Another Milan Meeting
Just one day after reports linking Milan and Ronaldinho surfaced, the player's agent and brother, Roberto Assis, has met with AC Milan...
zoom - galleria According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Roberto Assis has met with AC Milan with a view to Ronaldinho's future.
The player is under contract until 2010 and while Assis' main task is to improve the terms of that deal, Barca president Joan Laporta is unapparently unwilling to play ball.
So, the player's representative met on Monday with Milan representative Galliani in Italy. The two have previously talked over other shared clients, but this particular discussion seemed to focus around Ronaldinho.
It now seems more likely than ever that Ronaldinho's chosen destination, should he leave the Nou Camp, is the San Siro.
The player's agent is seemingly convinced, too, that a failure on Barcelona's part to improve his brother's deal could speed up a possible transfer move, although this is perhaps optimism on his part.
Milan confirmed this summer that they could not compete with Barcelona for Henry as they could not afford his 130K per week wages. It remains unclear if they will be able to do that in Ronaldinho's case.
Another issue is that Ronaldinho is still not in possession of an EU passport, making any move increasingly difficult, particularly in light of Milan's recent signing of Brazilian wunderkind Pato.
