Chelsea Ronaldinho move laughed off
(Goal.com)
Updated: 2005-07-08 09:15 Ronaldinho's agent has laughed off reports linking
the Brazilian superstar to a move to Chelsea as Bar?a hope to tie him to the
club for life.
 A Spanish radio station is insistent that Ronaldinho is unsettled at
Barcelona after his friend, Sandro Rosell, resigned from the club's board and
that Chelsea are posied to make a ?5million offer for him.
But the player's brother, who acts as his agent, Roberto de Assis claims he
knows nothing about any movement from the Blues.
"I do not know anything of this offer, nothing has arrived yet although in
football you can never be surprised," he said.
Instead, reports in Catalunya suggest that the former PSG playmaker is set to
put pen-to-paper on a mammoth deal at Camp Nou that could see him stay until
2014.
Bar?a president, Joan Laporta, and the club's economic vice-president, Ferran
Soriano, have been in prolonged negotiations over a huge deal that would see
Ronaldinho sign an initial five-year deal with options for a further four
seasons.
The offer is said to be worth around ?30million to the player and would see
his buy-out clause go upto ?50million, the same level that Samuel Eto'o and
Lionel Messi have in their contracts.
