Ronaldinho Will Leave Milan

Ronaldinho's Milan future is still looking vulnerable, despite Adriano Galliani claiming he was not leaving the club just 24 hours ago.

Il Corriere dello Sport insists the Brazilian playmaker will leave the club regardless of desperate attempts to keep him.

Ronaldinho and his agent brother Roberto De Assis are expected to return to Milan on Saturday in time for Tuesday's ritiro.

However, both men will inform the club of the will to leave. De Assis will unveil a good offer from Brazil with Flamengo ready to invest in the ace - Brazilian voices have already said a verbal agreement over personal terms has been reached.




Furthermore Thiago Silva spoke with 'Dinho and he told him of his desire to leave and experience a new adventure elsewhere, leading to further doubts over his commitment to Milan.

Silvio Berlusconi is likely to have the final say despite Galliani appearing certain when he tried to cover the cracks in haste on Thursday.

"Ronaldinho is not leaving Milan. He will remain here for next season. He has not told us he wants to leave and we have not received any contact," Galliani told the press.

However, a lucrative offer could convince Berlusconi, who has continued to repeat the club are facing financial cuts on the transfer front.

"If I look at the balance sheet I feel like fainting," he said yesterday.

Despite being strongly linked with Flamengo by Italian and Brazilian media, the newswires in the United States suggest Ronaldinho is heading for the LA Galaxy.

Real Salt Lake owner Dave Checketts believes the Milan ace could be heading straight to Galaxy, but he was reluctant to make it clear whether the suspected move related to 'Ronnie' when asked to name the player.

"I expect, by the way, Major League Soccer to make another announcement [in addition to Thierry Henry's move] in the next couple of days about another very big world superstar coming to our league [MLS]," Cheketts told Kall Am 700 Sports.

"Another one of our teams [in the MLS] is going to make a major investment and that will be a big announcement in the next couple of days"

"I would imagine that this guy is coming to LA and you will recognise who he is.

The RSL chief was probed on whether the player was Brazilian. His reponse was simple: "I think he might."
