£85m Ronnie Rocks Chelsea

Football - AC MILAN are set to beat Chelsea to sign Ronaldinho this summer. The Italian giants are lining up a world record bid for the Barcelona ace and it is understood that the horse-faced and gifted Brazilian, 26, is ready to end his hugely successful four-year spell in Spain.

The move would smash the £46million fee Real Madrid paid for Zinedine Zidane in 2001 as Ronaldinho's contract contains a release clause of £85million. Milan have struggled this season due to an eight-point reduction in the wake of the Italian match-fixing scandal and the £30million sale of Andriy Shevchenko to Chelsea. Milan completed the 'trojan horse' signing of another Brazilian superstar - Ronaldo - last month but the £5m deal was just part of the masterplan to sign Ronaldinho.

isporty wants to know what you think about this. Does it spend the end for Chelsea's dominance in the transfer market or it just that Ronaldinho has the basic grasp on common sense to know that Italy is a much cooler place to live than England?
