Madrid - Many Barcelona fans are starting to worry about idol
Ronaldinho leaving for AC Milan.
The Italian giants have been interested in Ronaldinho for two years
now, and there have been several contacts between Milan and Roberto
de Assis, brother and agent of the Brazilian megastar.
On Tuesday Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport
revealed that Silvio Berlusconi, owner of AC Milan, had lunch
recently with Ronaldinho's brother - to talk about the possibility
of a move to the San Siro.
Barca fans are already worried at this prospect.
An online poll taken by Catalan sports paper Mundo Deportivo shows
that 56 per cent of fans are 'very worried' about the prospect of
Ronaldinho wanting to leave Camp Nou in the near future.
Only a small minority of readers, 11.6 per cent, think that Barca
should 'take advantage of Ronaldinho's high market value and sell
him straight away.'
According to the poll, only 28 per cent of Barca fans believe that
Ronaldinho will still be wearing the famous red-and-blue striped
shirt 'in five years' time.'
Santi Nolla, editor of Mundo Deportivo, comments that 'these fears
are understandable, given the historic inability of Barca to hold
on to their top foreign players.'
