Milan in world record bid

AC Milan are being linked with a sensational £70 million bid for Barcelona star Ronaldinho. Both Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport reports today that if Milan are forced to sell Kaka to Real Madrid, they will replace the inside-forward with Ronaldinho. Milan directors intend to put the cash raised from Kaka’s proposed sale, plus the money from Andriy Shevchenko’s move to Chelsea, towards a mega bid for the World Player of the Year. However, Barcelona sources are already insisting the move is a non-starter - particularly with president Joan Laporta facing upcoming elections.
