So here comes the "end of the season" period, where league football take a 2-3 months break. Though there is still the Champions League and some other Cups to play for, many teams are already announcing the new signings and departure from their respective team.
Among the most sensational way to announce departure is Barcelona's Ronaldinho. Not that he himself announced he wants to leave, but instead it's Barca's president who said "he needs to leave"! Joan Laporta reckoned that Ronaldinho must leave to be the player he once was again.
"He (Ronaldinho) needs a new challenge. When a cycle finishes it is normal that the most emblematic pieces also come to an end. I would like Ronaldinho to be given a great send-off so that he is remembered for all he has given us and that if he didn't do any more it was because the circumstances wouldn't allow it".
Barcelona won the La Liga and Champions League with Ronaldinho in top form, while Ronaldinho himself also won the World Player of the Year Award! Ronaldinho is linked to a move to AC Milan.
In Milan, 2 more Brazilians will leave AC Milan. World Cup winner Cafu, at the age of 37, will return to Brazil. In his 5 seasons with Milan, he win every trophy possible at club level. Prior to joining Milan, he play for AS Roma and won the Scudetto with them.
Mean while, Serginho who joined the club back in 1999, has also decided to return home. Though not a regular at Milan, he is one influential player. His contribution to Milan's 2003 Champions League win is enormous, combining superbly with Superpippo to drive Milan to the final, and eventual win.
So let's wish both Cafu and Serginho all the best in life after football, and let's hope we can still see the best of Ronaldinho, hopefully in a Rossoneri shirt!
