Milan Reaches $47 Million Ronaldinho Deal, Mundo Deportivo Says
By Alex Duff
April 11 (Bloomberg) -- AC Milan reached an ``outline agreement'' with Barcelona to sign two-time FIFA world player of the year Ronaldinho for about 30 million euros ($47.4 million), El Mundo Deportivo reported.
The 28-year-old Brazilian's transfer depends on him agreeing to personal terms with Milan, the Barcelona-based sports newspaper said, without citing anyone.
Ronaldinho lost his first-team spot in November because of poor form and some Barcelona fans turned against him this year when he skipped games with a sore leg. Brazilians Cafu, Kaka, Pato, Ronaldo, Dida and Emerson are already on Milan's roster.
Since joining from Paris Saint-Germain for about 25 million euros in 2003, Ronaldinho helped Barcelona win two Spanish league titles and Europe's 2006 Champions League. He won FIFA's top individual honor in 2004 and 2005.
