Reports in Spain suggest that AC Milan are prepared to pay £89million for Ronaldinho.
Spanish daily AS claims that Milan chief Silvio Berlusconi is prepared to pay the 125 million Euros required to trigger Ronaldinho's buy-out clause at Barcelona.
The reports claim that Milan will make a series of bids for the striker, but if they do not succeed then such is Berlusconi's desire to bring him to the San Siro, he will meet the enormous buy-out clause, which would comfortably break the world transfer record currently held by Real Madrid, who paid £45.6 million for Zinedine Zidane in 2001.
AS goes on to claim that an agreement has already been reached between Ronaldinho and Milan, that will see him sign a five-year contract worth around £6m a year, plus exclusive image rights.
Ronaldinho has been in extensive contract negotiations with the Catalan giants to improve his current deal, which runs until 2010.
However, talks have stalled, leaving the prospect of the Brazilian joining the European champions open.

all mafia money as well
Makes you sick when you think about how much poverty there is in this world and someone is willing to pay that much money to get someone to play football for them for at best 6 or so years.
And I 100% agree with the poverty thing. Unfortunately some people live in a different world to the rest of us
if curbs had signed him he wouldn't be exciting enough, if dowie had signed him everyone would say crap signing but if the 'untouchable' pardew had signed him he'd be our greatest ever signing;-)

They sure do, a friend was in Vale do Lobo yesterday (where all the stinking rich have their places) and saw a pair of flip-flops for 450 euros!!!!
Nowt to do with Ronaldinho, but shocking nonetheless.
My ex missus would have argued that they must have been worth it. Purely to piss me off I imagine, but isn't that about £300+ for flip flops??
I'm in the wrong vocation.
International flip flop sales seems to be the way forward!!
When do I start?!
