Manchester City representatives have met Ronaldinho's agent in
Bangkok in a bid to woo the Brazilian to Eastlands.
Pairoj Piempongsant, a Thai adviser to City owner Thaksin
Shinawatra, said the club were trying to convince Ronaldinho that a
move to a "smaller" club would represent a new challenge for
someone who has won it all.
The businessman also said a decision on Sven Goran Eriksson's
future as manager would be made within a fortnight.
Pairoj claims he met Roberto de Assis Moreira, Ronaldinho's
brother and agent, adding: "I presented him with a vision why we
strongly believe in his potential, that he is the best player of
the world.
"There are several clubs, all bigger than Man City, that are
approaching him. There isn't anything left for him to win. It is
like a teenager who gets bored with something quickly and always
looks for new challenges."
AC Milan and Italian rivals Inter are both thought to be
interested in signing Ronaldinho from Barcelona.
The Brazil forward joined the Catalans in 2003 and helped them
win back-to-back league titles in 2005 and 2006, and the Champions
League in 2006.
He has been sidelined since mid-March with a leg injury and
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has said the player needs to leave
the club to revive his career.
