Milan : AC Milan appear close to securing Barcelona’s Ronaldinho despite the keen interest shown by Serie A champions Inter Milan in the Brazilian star.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported Tuesday that Roberto De Assis, the footballer’s brother and agent, attended a party at the residence of Milan president Silvio Berlusconi.
Berlusconi, the media magnate turned politician, late Monday celebrated his victory in Italy’s general election, which granted him a third mandate as prime minister.
De Assis met Milan market managers last week, reportedly agreeing a transfer deal that could be completed this week.
Milan are believed to have offered Barca a transfer fee of $31.6 million while Ronaldinho, 28, could join the Devils.
