Milan president Silvio Berlusconi says Ronaldinho will never join the club.

Berlusconi has never hidden his admiration for the Barcelona star and would love to bring him to the Giuseppe Meazza.

Milan have previously insisted they would be at the forefront to sign Ronaldinho should Barcelona ever decide to sell him.

However, Berlusconi believes that is unlikely to happen as Barcelona would never sell the Brazilian maestro.

"I've spoken with Barcelona president [Joan] Laporta and he told me that should he sell Ronaldinho, he would have to leave the country," Berlusconi told Sky Italia.

Milan are keen to bring in a new striker this summer and they have been linked with Ronaldinho's team-mate Samuel Eto'o.

Eto'o is adamant he will not be leaving Barcelona, but Berlusconi insists the club will do everything to sign a quality forward.

"We don't give limits to our targets," added Berlusconi. "We hope to find someone who can fit our needs.

"For the moment we expect a lot from Ronaldo. Then we will find a strong player who is not untransferable."

I'm not entirely sure what he meant by that.

My initial thought was: The fans would kill him for selling R10, therefore he'd have to leave the country. That's all I can think of. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

So yeah, he's basically saying he'll never leave.

Laportas joking that--
If Laporta was to let Ronaldinho leave or to sell him off, then Laport would have to leave the country because Barcelona fans would come after him.

The investors would come after him as well because Ronaldinho is a money maker.

There is something in this whole issue .. R10 has been quite .. I havn't even read a single statement from him.

The fact that Silvio came out and said a statement about R10 never leaving Barca .. Proves that the managment were after him even when some lost faith in the whole prospect of R10 coming. Therefore, you never know, Silvio could just be cooling the situation down from their part .. Cuz if there was going to be a transfer, I doubt they want it to look like Sheva's disgraced transfer.


Or it could be true .. Depends on how you precieve this whole issue ..
