For a guy who has completely fallen out of favor at his club and is surrounded by rumors of partying until the wee hours of the morning every night, Ronaldinho sure is finding lots of interest from other clubs out there.Not only does the Barcelona striker have two clubs in Milan ready to bid for his services, but now it appears that his brother, Roberto de Assis Moreira, who is also the Brazilian star's agent, had a nice long visit with Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra last weekend.
Of course, some would say Assis has never turned down a free meal from a soccer club and would fly to Seattle tomorrow if Paul Allen was picking up the tab. Still, this isn't the first rumor involving Man City and a big-name striker in this summer's transfer window. Some reports have the club preparing a £32 million bid for Tottenham Hotspur forward Dimitar Berbatov. They could probably get Ronaldinho from Barca for something close to that. The only question is whether he could accept playing for a club that isn't likely to be in any European competitions next season. That alone gives A.C. Milan and Inter Milan an edge here.
Meanwhile, Man City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson hasn't been this excited since he busted out that pimp costume. Nice look for him, too.
