Milan lead rivals Inter in battle for Ronaldinho

AC MILAN “have an advantage” over their city rivals Inter in the negotiations to sign Barcelona star Ronaldinho, according to the player’s agent and brother, Roberto de Assis.

AC Milan made their interest in the Brazilian known at the beginning of April, when both coach Carlo Ancelotti and club president Silvio Berlusconi announced their intention to bring him to the San Siro at the end of the season.

More recently, neighbours Inter have joined the hunt, with their president Massimo Moratti warning on Sunday “if the market is open to Milan, it is open to us too”.
