  • Ronaldinho's agent was in constant contact with the Man City board, who in the end decided to make a move for Robinho.



    “My brother spoke to Man City many times,” Ronaldinho told FourFourTwo magazine. “Their project is the kind that would interest any player - they could soon be among the best sides in England.



    "Lots of brilliant players are heading in their direction and yes, my brother looked properly at their offer. But Silvio Berlusconi had been saying for years that he would like to sign me and I felt in the end that it was the right time to say yes.”
