Ronaldinho to Be Unveiled By Milan, Claim Reports

Milan are close to completing the signing of Ronaldinho from Barcelona, according to reports in Italy.
Milan are close to completing the signing of Ronaldinho from Barcelona, and will unveil the player at their Milanello training base tomorrow, according to reports in Italy this evening.

The Gazzetta dello Sport reported on their website that Milan will pay Barcelona €18.5m (£14.775m) for Ronaldinho, though that figure is likely to be increased by performance-related bonuses. Ronaldinho himself will be handed a three-year deal worth €6.5m (£5.2m) a year.

"[Barcelona] have dubbed the Rossoneri's offer 'satisfactory'," read Gazzetta's report. "But the player's contract is particularly complicated - in part for non-footballing reasons."
