Ronaldinho close to Milan exit

AC Milan forward Ronaldinho is on the verge of leaving the Serie A leader after media reports yesterday said he had left the club's training base in Dubai to return to Brazil.

The former world player of the year, who joined the Rossoneri in 2008 but has failed to recapture his former glory, is wanted by old Brazilian club Gremio and Milan finally broke its silence about the impending move late on Friday. "We await his departure becoming official," Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri, who has left the 30-year-old Ronaldinho on the bench for much of the season, told Sky Italia. "Maybe there was a lack of willingness on his part." Milan is signing Sampdoria forward Antonio Cassano now the January transfer window has opened, making Ronaldinho's exit more inevitable with his contract up in June.
