Agent Ronaldinho doesn't exclude Barcelona return

Asked about the future of AC Milan attacker and Brazilian international Ronaldinho (29), his agent and brother Roberto de Assis didn't exclude a return to Barcelona in an interview with Catalan radio station Ona FM:

"My brother is happy in Milan, although he didn't yet reached his best level. He started well, but then he got injured and lost his spot.

It's a new stage in his life, it's a long-term job and the result will come in time. Manchester City? He has a contract until 2011 and if someone is interested, they should talk with Milan.

Barcelona will always be a special place for us. We would be delighted to return one day. We have a lot of respect and love for the city and the club. There are a lot of people I like at Barça: Puyol, Eto'o, Messi... I had a very good relationship with all players. We have a lot of friends in Barcelona and we hope that this will be a year of victory for the club."

when he accepts a minimum salary wich can get decent with performances i'm ok with it.
he's still a barça legend, threat them well. he must always be welcome

jordy said...

actually i'm already afraid he'll join real madrid

ronaldinho cant accept a bench role in milan,i dont think he will accept a bench role in barca too. he was a legend but his time is up,he should have gone to city...

he misses not to play football at barcelona.. he misses the night clubs and the wild partys at barcelona... ;-)
for a return to barca it's too late.
It's true that he's already a legend at barca but his best years are over and I don't think that he could help us in his actual form!

Visca el Barca!

Ronaldinho is still my favourite player to this day, i have huge respect for him. but his level is below par at the moment, i would only welcome his return if he was able to reach his old form again.

We bought henry at age 30, if henry leaves and ribery is too expensive :). He is certainly no longer the old ronaldinho, but he still has great passing and can take free kicks. He would have to do like shevchenko and come back on loan or for free though. We are not paying his greedy brother/agent any more money.

I wonder if Pep could get the best out of him again? I mean Rikjaard's lay back method might not work with a player who has won it all, but Pep's style might just work. A huge regret was not being able to c the Messi of today combined with Ronaldinho of the past. That surely would've been magic.

The shelf life of players like Ronaldinho is short, especially when they don't take care of themselves.

Pep's program would be very helpful for Ronnie, but I fear it would take too long to get the fitness to an acceptable level again.

His return would be a distraction, but the thought of him recovering his form with us is enticing. I would love to see it. However, the reality is that this is very unlikely.

This guy is HISTORY and I for one would not be pleased to have him back. He had two seasons when he took us for a ride drawing his salary and not giving anythink back in return

He dominated the football world once.A superb player when in top form and a true Barca legend...but it's about time to let go the past

It would be special to have him back, sort of in the role Zidane is playing for real madrid. Unfortunately, Ronnie will never return to his old form or be a valuable player for us outside the training pitch.

Come back ronnie no matter your form.. even if you just stand on the field you are better than 80% of players in th world.. Your passes are amazing and ideas are stunning... And i think that guardiola could make you the best player in the world again
