Man City takes the lead in the pursuit of Ronaldinho

When it was apparent that AC Milan was on the inside track to gaining Ronaldinho's services, Manchester City now looks like the favorite to sign the Barcelona forward. According to reports from a British publication, City is dueling with Milan for the Brazilian by bidding £25.5 million.
Even Barcelona president Joan Laporta acknowledged Man City's bids by calling them "interesting" and now beginning to favor the proposal from the English side. Also, a Barca spokeperson said that they would talk about the "Dinho's" future with his agent later today. However, it was not made known whether the Spanish squad would see representatives from either City or Milan.
Not ready to give up, Milan VP Adriano Galliani is in Barcelona to try to convince the 28-year-old to play at the San Siro instead of the City of Manchester Stadium.
And this is a pretty good sign that the Brazilian probably won't be playing with Barca: he did not show up to this morning's pre-season fitness tests led by new Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola. It was confirmed that his stint with the Catalonians was over when Pep confirmed that the two-time FIFA player of the year was not in his plans.

He won't go to City, he'll join Milan...Defiently...
Hmmmm...leave it to Ronaldo to create more and more drama around himself. This guy's ego just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
If he goes to Man City, he'll be the only A player on the squad and get frustrated after the first game...

This soap opera will last until the very last day of the transfer window
I seriously can't see Ronnie choosing City, unless he just cares about money! He should be moving to a bigger club imo.
