Ronaldinho will not be coming to Milan after all?

Ronaldinho's proposed transfer to AC Milan has stalled after the Serie A side failed to agree a fee with Barcelona.

Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani admitted preliminary discussions had not been successful.

'Yesterday we had a conference call but the figures have not been right,' Galliani told Sky Italia after Milan's 5-1 win over Reggina.

'Maybe Ronaldinho won't come.'

I think the Milan board owe the fans a world class striker after selling Shevchenko. This season they really have problem scoring goals, relying heavily on Kaka and "Superpippo" Inzaghi. Though Pato's performance has been satisfying, he is one for the future. The current lists of forward really do not strike any fear on any team, except for Inzaghi. Gilardino has been off form for quite some time, and Milan certainly need some replacement to the ageing Inzaghi.

Robert De Assis, Ronaldinho's brother and agent, has agreed personal terms with the Milan club but there is competition from city rivals Inter and Barclays Premier League outfit Manchester City.

Even if the Ronaldinho's proposed transfer fail, the Milan board must show support to the coach Ancelotti and spend money to rebuild the team. Milan need reinforcement in practically all position except Midfield.
