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."

Sorry if it has been posted elsewhere, I'm beyond tired to have noticed. (Porty may have posted it in Spanish or something?)

Wow, NEVER going to join?

But Henry doesn't have a future, while Ronaldinho does. Henry is already on the decline.

it's like Shaq and Kobe playing for the Lakers...sure, Shaq was the older guy who didn't have as much time to play...but he overshadowed Kobe (not just physically (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ).

it's just really hard for 2 superstars to function on the same team...look at Madrid, the same thing is happening in Barca

4 superstars in one team is never a good idea. Ego clashes could torn the team from inside. I think they might sell Eto'o since he's more problematic than others IMO.

he hasn't made many statements to the press about his future at Barcelona or even the link to Milan. Of course Laporta is going to say this but Silvio would have said it about Sheva before last summer or Arsenal would have said it about Henry.
