Ronaldinho interests Milan

Adriano Galliani has revealed that Milan would be interested in Ronaldinho.

Milan chief officer Adriano Galliani has revealed that the Rossoneri would be at the forefront to sign Ronaldinho should Barcelona ever decide to sell him.

Although Galliani believes the Brazil striker will stay with the Spanish club for the rest of his career, he admits Milan would have an interest in making a move for the player if he was ever available.

"In my opinion Ronaldinho is a player who will never move from Barcelona," Galliani said.

"Surely president (Joan) Laporta, the player and his brother know that should there be such an occasion, Milan would be in pole position. But it's useless having illusions.

"I have always said that I don't believe such a rich and powerful club will decide to deprive themselves of such an important player.

"It's clear that should they have to do this, we will be there. This is the clear opinion I have from president Silvio Berlusconi."

Galliani has also revealed that there are problems with Ricardo Oliveira's transfer to Real Madrid.

Oliveira's switch to the Bernabeu was part of the deal which has seen fellow Brazilian Ronaldo move to Italy, but the international rules that forbid three transfers in the same season, are blocking the situation.

"It's difficult from a legal point of view. It's a case like Mascherano's one. Lawyers are working but I think it's an hypothesis that has failed," Galliani said on the radio.

Oliveira joined Milan in the summer from Betis which also means he cannot move to another side.
