RONALDINHO TRANSFER DRAGS ON

Last updated : 07 July 2003 By Editor
Francis Graille, president of Paris St Germain said in the
News of the World:

“We're very close to an agreement for Ronaldinho with Real.
And we're confident we can find a solution, Real want to
sign Ronaldinho for the season after next, which is good for
us as we want him to stay for one more season. Manchester
made a modest offer that wasn't worth considering. We've not
had any contact with them since we turned down their offer.”

His loveable agent and brother Roberto Assis has said:

“What footballer wouldn't love to play for Real? All the
superstars play for them.”

He went on to say:

"Manchester United and Real Madrid are still negotiating
with the Paris Saint-Germain president

"Real Madrid's offer is more interesting for the club
because it would mean that the player would stay for another
season in Paris. However, there is still a possibility that
he can go to Manchester United.

"There will definitely be a resolution this week - probably
midweek.''

The player himself has said:

“I don't want to talk about my future, because I am on
holiday.”

But he also said in Spanish:

“Tengo la mente en blanco,” which can be translated either
as 'I have an open mind' or also 'I am thinking about
white'.

Who knows.
