Ronaldinho has chosen to the number 80 to go on the back of his shirt. Whilst with Barcelona, Ronaldinho wore the number 10. On transfering to Milan, he was unable to keep the number 10 as it is currently being worn by Clarence Seedorf.

Ronaldinho did not expect Seedorf to give up his number as suggetsed by the media as he does not believe that a number makes a player great.

The reason for choosing 80 is that Ronaldinho was born in 1980.

However, there is a slight problem with the number 80 as the company that manages Ronaldinho’s image rights is named R10. It is yet to be revealed if the company will change its name to R80.

Pato has expressed his excitement about playing alongside Kaka and Ronaldinho this year. the KA-PA-RO attack originated when Kaka, Pato and Ronaldo were playing together last year. This year the RO will be with Ronaldinho who has signed with Milan until 2011.

With this team, we can win it all,” Pato told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Kaka and Ronaldinho are both very important for Milan, but they play different roles.

“Ronaldinho tends to spread out wide more and if Kaka does too, then they’ll both give me the ball in the centre to score. Easy.”

Pato will play alongside Ronaldinho in this years Olympics and should be good to see how both players get along.

It has been also heavily publicised that there are problems in the AC Milan locker room with Seedorf being very unhappy with Milan’s new signing. He has also been said to not willingly give up his number 10 shirt but Leonardo has stepped in to make sure matters are settled early before the start of the season.

In other news, Milan has rejected a £80 million offer for Kaka and has stated which players were available for transfer or loan.

“The market is open for Paloschi and Abate to leave on loan, and if necessary for Simic and Digao too,” Galliani told Sport Mediaset.

The Rossoneri have confirmed that they have agreed a fee with Barcelona and terms with the player.

After rejecting interest from Manchester City, Ronaldinho has agreed a three-year deal with the Milan club - keeping him at the San Siro until 2011.

Milan released a statement confirming the impending deal.

“AC Milan and Barcelona have reached an agreement in principle over the transfer of Ronaldinho,” said the statement.

“The player will be in Milan [on Wednesday] to undergo a medical and sign a contract that will keep him at Milan until June 30 2011.”

Milan president Silvio Berlusconi confirmed that vice-president Adriano Galliani had finalised the deal.

“Galliani phoned me this evening and there has been a handshake,” he told Sky Italia.

“I have no reason to doubt it and tomorrow morning the contract will arrive.”

It is believed the final fee for Ronaldinho will be €18.5million (£14.6million) with the player earning an estimated €6.5million (£5.1million) per season.

“Those who criticize Dunga don’t know what a great manager he is,” Pato said. “At the moment, however, I am entirely focused on the Olympics - it’s the dream of every player.”

He also added that he is extremely excited about playing alongside Ronaldinho in the Olympics and wishes Kaka could be there too.

“This experience will be all the more special for me because I will play alongside Ronaldinho. Kakà? He would have been important for Brazil. He wasn’t able to come because of his age and because Milan wasn’t obligated to let him come.”

Brazil will compete in the competition’s Group C against hosts China, New Zealand and Belgium.

Ronaldinho sounds like a done deal but Barcelona are holding off until they complete their squad. If they can not get a suitable replacement for Ronaldinho and this will be a difficult task then Ronaldinho will most likely stay at Barcelona.

Arsenal has just informed Milan that Adebayor is on offer again. It seems like Adebayor is causing problems for Arsenal after asking for the same salary that Henry got with he was with Arsenal. Now Adebayor needs to remember that Henry was there for a lot longer and has taken Arsenal further and not to mention Henry is a much better player then Adebayor. Personally I think Milan should scrap the deal with Arsenal unless they are willing to offload him for £15mil then I think we might have a deal.

Milan have struggled for strikers since the lost of Ronaldo. They have not been able to land a striker and to be honest there aren’t too many star strikers available anyway. Galliani mentioned at the end of the season that there could be a possibility of Kaka playing upfront. Could you imagine that with Ronaldinho in the team?

You can have Kaka and Pato up front with Ronaldinho, Pirlo and Seedorf supporting them. It would be a dream attack for any club in any league.

This may well happen as Ronaldinho clearly does not want to play for Manchester City. The English club has offered Barcelona the asking price and are willing to pay Ronaldinho £200k a week. Now that should have been a done deal but the only reason why Ronaldinho has not moved to Manchester City is because he does not want to play for them. Ronaldinho being a star player will not play for a B grade team. No offense to Manchester City but they are no Barcelona or Milan.

Ronaldinho’s brother Roberto De Assis has confirmed that Ronaldinho wants to play for Milan and Milan want Ronaldinho.

“Nothing has changed. We know that Milan like Ronaldinho and that Ronaldinho likes Milan and we will continue to work to bring the best player in the world to the best club in the world,” De Assis stated.

He added: “We have always had a good relationship with Milan and always been in contact,”

If Ronaldinho does move to Milan I can bet you more people will be watching the UEFA Cup this year.

“The possibility that Ronaldinho will play in the red and black shirt next year is still there and is the same as a few months ago.

Only one player is over 23 in the Brazil squad and that is Robinho.

Strikers: Robinho (Real Madrid), Pato (Milan), Sobis (Betis), Oldoni (Atletico Paranaense)

Barcelona has not won any trophies for two years and the hopes to change that around next season.

Rosell has stated that he will sign “a star not fully established, but someone who will excite the Nou Camp”, and that player is believed to be AC Milan’s Alexandre Pato.

Pato had an awesome debut season and I’m pretty sure that Milan will not be selling Pato anytime soon so Barcalona will have to target another star player.

“I would like it a lot if we could play together,” Pato, 17, told GQ magazine.

“We are really good friends.

“Ronnie is going through a rough patch at the moment. The media are always hounding him.

“Nevertheless, he has such a great character that I expect he will get over his injury and image problems.

“We talk all the time, but never about football. He always asks me how I am doing. It’s crazy, Ronaldo is my idol.”

The teenage sensation also shared his opinion on the Italian game and it seems as if he had to learn fast the hard way.

“I remember Cristian Ledesma repeatedly hitting me - massacring me. I was not bothered. Actually, I like playing this way. It has made me grow up,” said Pato

“In Brazil, you get the ball and are allowed 20 seconds to look up and think about what you are going to do.

“Here, instead, you have three seconds to do something before someone like Ledesma arrives.”

Pato scored nine goals in 18 games for Milan this season and in that explosive form he is sure to be one of the best in future if he continues working hard at San Siro.
