bluenose_72 198 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Barcelona's Ronaldinho has reportedly agreed initial terms with Italian giants AC Milan, according to his brother and agent Roberto de Assis. The Brazilian, 28, is set to miss the rest of the season with injury but is said to be disillusioned with life at the Nou Camp and keen for a move. De Assis insisted it was not yet a done deal but said: "Basically, Ronaldinho and Milan have come to an agreement. "He was impressed with first contact with them, they are a great team." Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani said: "There is a general agreement with the player. Now a deal has to be reached with Barcelona. Give us time." The forward has also been linked with a move to Manchester City after De Assis was a guest at the home game against Chelsea. But De Assis claims the meetings at Eastlands were regarding "personal matters" and did not concern his brother. And he now believes only a fee needs to be agreed with Barca for the two-time world player of the year to make the move to Italy a reality. He added: "The important thing is that he will be happy. When will a deal be finalised? You have to be patient." Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted on Friday he would like to bring both Ronaldinho and Chelsea's out of favour striker Andriy Shevchenko to the San Siro next season. Milan are fifth in Serie A and in danger of missing next year's Champions League after a poor season. They were knocked out of this year's Champions League as holders by Arsenal in the first knockout round. And Ancelotti's men have struggled to score and create goals with Brazilian Ronaldo playing just a handful of games before being ruled out long term with a knee injury.
