On Thursday night Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani revealed that Ronaldinho was “180 per cent” a Rossoneri player.
In the hours since this declaration, the jigsaws in his proposed summer move have continued to fall into place, and The Brazilian star brother cum agent Roberto de Assis has now confirmed that there is a preliminary agreement between Ronaldinho and Milan.
"In general, Ronaldinho and Milan are in agreement," de Assis told Italian press.
An Italian newspaper goes on to say that the contract will be until 2012, and will net the Brazilian €8million-a-year.
Milan will pay Barcelona between €20-30million, with Ronaldinho buying out the rest of his Barcelona contract.
Milan transfer guru Galliani has also confirmed that a deal has been reached with the 28-year-old, but said that there is still much to discuss with Barca.
"There is a general agreement with the player,” he stated. “Now a deal has to be reached with Barcelona. Give us time.”
Inter Milan President Massimo Moratti earlier stated on Friday that his club would fight Milan for Ronaldinho’s signature, however the chances of this now look very slim.
His only chance is to outbid Milan if the Rossoneri are unable to strike an agreement with the Blaugrana bosses.
