It seemed logical that Ronaldinho´s performance in the latest season needed to damage both the club and the player during and after the season. He hasn´t been of any help during the season, being more a liability than an asset for the team. Therefore it seems wise to transfer the player, but the problem is obvious: Where? What team that can pay Ronaldinho´s wages would still be interested in him? AC Milan lost the interest months ago. Same for Chelsea. The brazilian makes €7.5 million and FC Barcelona are asking for €40 million trasfer fee.
Manchester City are offering him €10 million but the brazilian is reluctant to go to a minor team, far from the category of the big european teams. I´m wondering, what is he expecting after his attitude last season? Would he expect the biggest teams of the continent to be queuing up to win him?
In any case, Guardiola doesn´t count with him for next season, but Rolandinho has a contract with FC Barcelona until 2010, and doesn´t seem too keen to sacrifice a penny in his next contract.
