RONALDINHO is "80-90 per cent" likely to secure a move to AC Milan, according to his agent Roberto De Assis.
Milan have long been linked with a move for the Brazilian since he was told he was not part of Barca's plans for the future.
Manchester City boss Mark Hughes this week seemed hopeful the Eastlands club could pull off a coup by signing the two-tim
e FIFA player of the year.
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani insisted yesterday that a deal would only be completed if the price is right, but De Assis is confident his client – who is also his brother – will make the switch to the San Siro.
"Yes, it's true that he'll probably go to Milan," De Assis told Lombardy television stations. "Everything's ready for the transfer. He is there 80-90 per cent and we are working towards that. He is working hard to get back to his best and the important thing is that now he is fine and working for his future."
Milan might be leading the pack but there is no shortage of other possible destinations for Ronaldinho, with Chelsea and City just two of the clubs reportedly in the hunt. However, De Assis rubbished suggestions that his brother could join David Beckham at Los Angeles Galaxy.
"LA Galaxy? No, no, absolutely not. Why Galaxy? It's not possible because he is only 28 and he wants to play at least five or six years more at the top level."
