Barca confirm Ronaldinho bid

Barcelona have confirmed that Manchester City have lodged a £25 million offer for Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho. Joan Laporta confirmed that the club had received an offer over the weekend for the player.

Man City have long been hunting Ronaldinho, and as yet it is unknown whether the Brazilian international will accept personal terms with the Premiership side.

"The two sides agreed to allow two or three days to finalise the transfer of the player to one of the clubs which have shown an interest in signing him. If the operation cannot be confirmed in this time the player will rejoin squad training," a Barcelona statement read.
