June 16th 2008 22:21
A move to Stamford Bridge is likely for Ronaldinho
New Chelsea coach Luis Felipe Scolari said his relationship with Ronaldinho "could prove decisive" in luring the Barcelona superstar to London.
Scolari, who will start his post at Chelsea when Portugal's EURO campaign ends, said he already gave the English finalists a list of players he attempts to lure for next season, among those Ronaldinho and fellow Brazilian superstar Kaka.
Ronaldinho, who was officially linked with Serie A giant AC Milan, said he would see a move to Stamford Bridge as a great opportunity to rebuild his dorment career.
"I won the 2002 World Cup with him. I grew alot as a player under his guidance and it would be a pleasure if our careers crossed one another" he said.
Barcelona are still waiting for a formal offer from Chelsea, while another English club, Manchester City,are believed to have already offered the Brazilian maestro 25 million euros for his transfer.
Ronaldinho, who suffered arguably his worst period of football last season, is currently on holiday in his native Brazil.
Despite Brazil's 2-0 defeat against Paraguay yesterday, it is unlikely coach Dunga will call upon Ronaldinho for the nations clash with arch-nemesis Argentina, who yesterday drew with Ecuador 1-1 in World Cup qualifying.
