galleria zoom The Brazilian is having a miserable season at Camp Nou, and has struggled badly to demonstrate the kind of form that once made him the best player in the world.

Ronaldinho has spent long spells of the season out of the line-up, due to injury and poor form, and this has led to constant reports that he will leave Barca at the end of the campaign.

Sources in Italy claim that the 28-year-old will certainly move to Inter in the summer, with both the player’s, and club’s sponsor, Nike, financing much of the deal.

At the beginning of next week a meeting will take place between the Nerazzurri management, representatives of Nike, and Ronaldinho’s agent.

Barcelona will not stand in the way of a sale, and a transfer price of €60m has been agreed.

The Catalan giants have asked for Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar to be included as part of the deal, but they have been told by Massimo Moratti that this is an impossibility.

Instead veteran hardman Marco Materazzi, who was already pursued by the Blaugrana last summer, could be an alternative pawn.

Chelsea deploy long ball tactic nowadays. Not suitable for a flair player like him.

i tink ppl will link him with chelsea cuz they are the only club that can afford to sign him. 28 to 30 usually is a footballer peak period, he is just entering this phase, the best is yet to come.

**wantan-** · 27-03-2008, 07:43 PM

for a mid its 25-32 for the peak for the players.. ronaldinho will feel good when he's in italy i suppose since Seria A type of football is a slow pace type ^^ cant wait to see the combination of ronaldinho and ibrahimovic =D

imho, not every footballer peak period is 28 to 30.
furthermore, the best is already over.
he is not as gd he used to be.

its kinda weird its coming from u but i have to agree totally. he have already reached his peak seasons ago. Just like any other typical brazilian, his peak is already over. So yea, thats why he is struggling now and yea, like whats mentioned earlier, he will play better in italy as the rythm there suits his playing style..

**wantan-** · 28-03-2008, 01:34 AM

**Sonic Bear** · 28-03-2008, 01:35 AM

i quite confuse abt this comment.

they arent typical brazilians? when romario and bebeto play their football, they are playing the brazilian samba football.

can u elaborate?

It will impossible to ask him to reach his highest peak with age catching up and youngsters like Dos Santos, Bojan and Messi coming up the ranks. The same thing happened to Petit, Guardiola, Overmars and Figo.
