Blackburn make Ronaldinho enquiry

by Setanta Staff , 03 January 2011

Blackburn have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Ronaldinho, according to his agent and brother.


The Brazilian's time at the San Siro appears to be drawing to a close after AC Milan announced last week that they were willing to sell the playmaker for the right price.

That price is believed to be in the region of EUR 8million and as a result Blackburn and a number of other English clubs are said to have expressed an interest in the former European Footballer of the Year.

"Blackburn have contacted us. There is also other interest in England but this is confidential," Ronaldinho's brother and agent Roberto de Assis said.

Brazilian side Germio are also keen on signing the 30-year-old, but de Assis has insisted that nothing has been decided yet.

"We will arrive in Porto Alegre in order to negotiate with Gremio, but nothing is decided," he is quoted as saying in the Daily Mirror.

"If we do not reach an agreement with a a club in Brazil then he will return to Milan as he is still a Milan player. We are not ruling anything out."
