Soccer Extreme : Blackburn Rovers slim chances of signing former World Player of the Year Ronaldinho appear to have shrunk further after AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri confirmed the player is set for a move back to Brazil.The forward is close to joining hometown club Gremio with an official announcement expected later today.
Brazilian media outlet Radio Globo claimed the 30-year-old was in Rio de Janeiro to sign a three-and-a-half-year deal with the club.
‘’We are all sorry to lose a player of the quality of Ronaldinho,” said Allegri
‘’But he has made a life choice by going to Brazil.’
Ronaldinho’s current contract with Milan expires at the end of the season and, with the Rossoneri having already signed Antonio Cassano from Sampdoria this week, there is no space for the former Barcelona star in Allegri’s line-up. (telegraph)
