Ronaldinho brother denies exit

In an interview with Catalan radio station Ona FM, Roberto de Assis, brother and agent of Barcelona playmaker Ronaldinho (27), denied all exit rumours: “The press is creating things, while our idea is to continue and we have said that a thousand times. And the board says the same thing.”

Roberto made clear his brother has never thought about a transfer, that he wants to stay a long time and that he feels supported by the fans: “The most important thing is the passion and the love of the people and that’s not something you can forget about overnight.”
