Mancio: Inter want Ronaldinho! Saturday 19 January, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roberto Mancini has stunned the media by admitting Inter are interested in Ronaldinho. “Nobody believed me…”
For over two years now the Brazilian has been a declared target for their rivals Milan, who now seem to have dropped their interest in the Barcelona star.
However, a switch to San Siro is still possible for the former World Player of the Year, but in the Nerazzurri colours.
“Nobody believed me when I talked about Ronaldinho,” grinned Mancio during today’s Press Conference.
“I don’t think it would be a problem to have him settle in to the squad. Ronaldinho is a great player and, aside from his behaviour, the important thing is that a champion steps on to the field and makes the difference. He almost always does that.”
Milan President Silvio Berlusconi had announced he was dropping his bid to sign Ronaldinho last week, stating that the Selecao hero could “cause problems” in the locker room.
This left Chelsea as the only contenders for his signature, but Inter appear to be in the running as well now and President Massimo Moratti has never been shy about splashing the cash on his players.
Moratti has pledged to sign a big star for their Centenary celebrations and Ronaldinho could well fit the bill.
