Chelsea are reportedly poised to make an audacious £83m bid for Barcelona striker Ronaldinho, according to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
The 25-year-old Brazilian would be given a nine-year contract worth £10m per year as part of the deal.
However, Ronaldinho's brother Roberto de Assis, who acts as his agent, has rejected talk of any Chelsea offer.
Ronaldinho has three years left on his contract at the Nou Camp and has been negotiating a five-year extension.
Barca have already installed a £100m buy-out clause in his current deal which is designed to deter any bids for the exciting frontman.
Ronaldinho was rumoured to be unsettled at the Nou Camp following the resignation of former Barca vice-president Sandro Rosell, who quit after a long-running dispute with president Joan Laporta.
But the player is content in Catalonia, and when interviewed last month said: "I can't see myself living anywhere else.
"My family is very happy here and that was the main thing when I had to choose between Barcelona and Manchester United."
巴賽唔係出左一張合約,鎖到細哨收山咩??
但係細哨好似話過唔會永遠留係巴塞wor...
但我覺得巴賽幾多錢都唔賣囉...

Chelsea is totally unreasonable if the report above is true
I don't think its boss is playing sport, he's just thinking of money business all day long
If the trend continue and spread to other clubs, I'm afraid that soccer will no longer be a kind of sport, but the place for the millionaires to compete作者: YUEN_LOUIS 時間: 2005-7-10 12:17 PM
