So is Ronaldinho the long haired flamboyant Brazilian really going to join Liverpool? A big club but struggling at this particular moment in time. The 30 year old definitely has quality in his feet but seems to have lost his meteoric rise to the top after he left Barcelona and is looking to rediscover the form which had him leading his national side and one of the biggest clubs in the world.
The rumours started in a Milan gossip column and have spread like wildfire through the football world, now has the reds are dreaming of seeing the playmaker sign for them. Ronaldinho is currently in and out of the A.C Milan side being outshone by his Brazilian team mate ex Man City star Robinho.
Once a winner of the Balon D'or Ronaldinho has found himself nominated for the Bidon'e Doro which roughly translates to the golden dustbin this signifies the biggest flop of the season in Serie A and to be fair the player list doesn't look all that bad, with players like Cannavaro, Marco Matterazzi and Mancini featuring on the list.
Current Liverpool midfielder and fellow Brazilian team mate Lucas has said what a great addition he would be for the club 'Everyone knows Ronaldinho's quality and what he can do. Without doubt it would be a great boost for us.' Said last seasons Liverpool's young player of the year. A stumbling block for the deal could be his wage demands he will definitely have to take a drop in wages for Liverpool to afford him as his current 6.3 million a year surely can not be matched by Liverpool.
Ronaldinho's wage may be an issue as he might have to take a drop to go to Liverpool as the Brazilian currently rakes in 6.3 million a year but his transfer fee would be free should he come in June as his contract runs out and A.C Milan don't look like giving him a new one any time soon.
Hodgson however has been cautious of the news and although he would love the Brazilian at the club he has played the transfer talk down of several players he has been linked with "Ronaldinho and Suarez are players who we have never even thought about but I would think there is not a manager in the Premier League who has not given Ashley Young a thought at some stage or another," said Hodgson.
