Perhaps one of the biggest movement in the footballing world, Ronaldinho who was deemed as surplus at the Nou Camp, has joined AC Milan in a deal believe to be around £14.6million. This means that, Manchester City will now have to search elsewhere for someone else to fill that position. The official statement was released by Milan’s website which states "AC Milan and FC Barcelona have reached an agreement for the transfer of Ronaldinho. Tomorrow (Wednesday) the player will be in Milan for a medical and to sign the contract which will tie him to Milan until June 30, 2011." Ronaldinho has had an illustrious career with Barcelona, scoring 70 goals in 145 appearances but has since found himself not needed by new coach Pep Guardiola after the resignation of Frank Riijkard. The transfer also mean that Ronaldinho will not be playing any Champions League Football in the coming season after a disappointing season where they finished fifth.

Carlo Ancelotti, who has led Milan to numerous finals in the European top league said that the Brazilian will be a great addition for the team as they build on their efforts to come back next season.

He said "The important thing is to have quality players and Ronaldinho is without doubt one of those. We will play with a 4-3-2-1 formation. It's a model that has worked well for us and brought us great satisfaction. It's our trademark and it will be again this year, with or without Ronaldinho. Our only objective is to win playing good football. This is Milan. We start the season wanting to improve; being out of the Champions League is hard to take, therefore we will do everything to return there as soon as possible."

Ronaldinho will be joined with national team mate Kaka, which makes it two Brazilians and two award winning in the San Siro.
