Welcome back! Check out our new videos and news updates!
AC Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has confirmed that his club will not sign any more players this summer, and that star recruit Ronaldinho who signed yesterday is the last new player on the roster.
Milan, who finished fifth in last season’s Serie A, had earlier added Arsenal’s Mathieu Flamini on a free transfer, and recently brought in defender Gianluca Zambrotta from Barcelona for 8.5 million euros. Zambrotta’s Barca teammate Ronaldinho put an end to transfer speculation choosing the Rossoneri over Manchester City, despite the English club’s offer being monetarily superior.
Galliani’s statement means that Milan (might) have ended their interest in Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The Gunners had recently halved their asking price for the forward, after Milan had backed off from Arsenal’s preliminary valuation. A move for Andriy Shevchenko was also on the cards at the San Siro.
Arsenal meanwhile have played up their interest in Spain and Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso. Alonso has been linked with Juventus for quite some time. Arsenal are also being linked with a move for England and Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry, who they aim to snatch from under Liverpool’s noses.

Barcelona supremo Joan Laporta has confirmed that the Catalan club has received bids from AC Milan and Manchester City for star forward Ronaldinho. Laporta has also said that Manchester City’s offer is higher than Milan’s.
If Milan had been in the Champions League this coming season, Ronaldinho’s choice would be rather straightforward. However with the Italians managing only a fifth-place finish in the Serie A last season, there is no lure of European football (unless you belong to that really tiny minority that follows the UEFA Cup).
City meanwhile have shown signs of wanting to break from their cursed mid-table finishes in the Premier League. The appointment of Mark Hughes, and the signing of Brazilian striker Jo, coupled with the vigour that they have showed in the pursuit of Ronaldinho are strong indicators of a willingness to move forward.
Ronnie himself might still want to go to Milan, wanting to link up with star names such as Kaka, Inzaghi and Dida. And it will be down to the Battle of the Premiers. Milan are owned by Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi. Manchester City are owned by Thaksin Shinawatra, former Prime Minister of Thailand. Which Premier’s money will go the distance?

For Queiroz, the immediate target would be the FIFA world Cup 2010. What impact would this have on Ronaldo’s transfer saga? Ronaldo meanwhile will be sidelined for the next 3 months due to injury.
