CITY OFFER RONALDINHO £200,000 A WEEK


Manchester City have made Ronaldinho an offer that would see the Brazilian become the highest-paid footballer in the world if he agreed to move to the club.

A delegation of City representatives travelled to Brazil on Saturday to formally confirm they would be willing to pay the Barcelona forward around £200,000 a week.
'The discussions were mainly with Ronaldinho's brother, Roberto de Assis, who is acting as his agent. However, Ronaldinho briefly put in an appearance, too, and there will be more talks over the next two days. City's owner, Thaksin Shinawatra, has left the matter to his right-hand man, Pairoj Piempongsant, who is reporting back to Cook and the new manager, Mark Hughes,' reports The Guardian.
Ronaldinho has yet to give the club an answer and has been left to mull over their offer.
"Barcelona have given us the clearance to talk to Ronaldinho and we've had people in Brazil over the weekend," confirmed City's executive chairman Garry Cook.
"We have a long, long list of things we need to get done because it's a very complex issue, with the type of player that he is. But when you are ambitious as we are, you just keep ticking the boxes and we're moving forward.
"We are nowhere near complete, but the most important thing is that he wants to get back to playing football and show the world again that he is the greatest footballer."
