Ronaldinho claims to be perfectly happy at FC Barcelona, and has avoided all rumours in the press of a
potential transfer to AC Milan.
Several Italian newspapers have claimed this week that the Brazilian ace could be on his way to Lombardy, but following
training in Monterrey, Ronaldinho said "Right now I am not thinking about anything other than Barça. All I have in my head
are thoughts of training, something I have been missing". Ronaldinho rejoined the squad on Tuesday and has said that the chance
to disconnect from it all has done him the world of good.
"I want to stay on here"
The Balon D'Or winner made repeated comments about "staying here", "feeling relaxed" and "being happy at Barça", adding
that "FC Barcelona is the perfect place and for me, nothing has changed".
His brother's involvement
But is Ronaldinho aware that AC Milan have been asking questions? The player says that since the World Cup he has been
avoiding the press and television and has left matters in the hand of his brother and agent, Roberto de Assís. "I don't know
if there has been any contact with my brother" he said. "But it is always nice to know that a big club with great fans is
after you and admires your work. These things motivate me to work even hard".
Satisfied with signings
The striker is also pleased with the new additions to the squad. "We had a strong team, and now we have made it stronger"
he said. He is looking forward to the added qualities of Gudjohnsen, Thuram and Zambrotta in Frank Rijkaard's line-ups.
Brazil and the World Cup
Ronaldinho accepted that Brazil's World Cup had made him "sad, after a perfect year with Barça". But all that is "now in
the past" and he is looking forward to seeing how things develop with Dunga now in charge. He also claimed that the reason
he has not been named in Brazil's first post-World Cup squad is because he has not yet started pre-season training, and as
a result, there are other players, which include Edmílson, who have been picked in preference
