" Ronaldinho nears Man Utd move"
Ronaldinho is set to leave PSG
Manchester United look certain to clinch the signing of Ronaldinho if they can agree a transfer fee with Paris St Germain.
The French club are prepared to sell the Brazilian to help reduce their debts and United chief executive Peter Kenyon has been in lengthy talks with PSG president Francis Graille to agree a deal.
PSG value Ronaldinho at £18m but his agent, Roberto Assis, indicated in April 2002 that he would be available for nearer £10m.
Despite the sale of David Beckham to Real Madrid for £25m, United are unlikely to raise their offer above £14m.
" "Our financial situation is delicate and Ronaldinho´s agents want him to leave," said new PSG coach Valid Halilhodzic.
" If the club receive a huge offer, considering our situation, then we will consider it.
Ronaldinho fits Ferguson´s bill
" If the finances were healthy, Ronaldinho would never leave."
Spanish outfit Barcelona were interested in signing Ronaldinho after missing out on Beckham but have ruled themselves out of the deal because of the asking price.
Real Madrid were also contenders but they are unlikely to succeed as they want to buy Ronaldinho and then loan him back to PSG for a season.
Assis has admitted talks with PSG are continuing and it appears United are now in pole position to sign the player.
" Peter Kenyon and the PSG president Frances Graille had a meeting [on Friday] to discuss the transfer and things are looking good," said Assis.
" They are going to continue talks over the next few days. There will be a completion one way or another next week."
=>Pour 14M£ c´est raisonnable, avec un Kluivert a 1.5M£ ce serait pas mal ^^
