Report: Ronaldinho heading for Milan

Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo is reporting that FC Barcelona has agreed terms with AC Milan to send Brazilian star Ronaldinho to the San Siro for approximately $47 million.

An 'outline agreement' has reportedly been reached between the two European powerhouses.

The two-time FIFA World Player of the Year and World Cup winner in 2002 has only to agree terms with the transfer in order to complete the massive move.

The supremely gifted midfielder who led Barcelona to the 2006 Champions League title has fallen out of favor in recent months with head coach Frank Rijkaard after a string of injuries and inconsistent performances.

If the deal does indeed go through, Ronaldinho will join fellow Brazilians Kaka, Ronaldo, Alexandre Pato, Emerson and Dida, all who are currently on the books with AC Milan.

Ronaldinho began his professional career in his native Brazil back in 1998 with local club Gremio. In 2001, he made the jump to European football when he joined French club Paris St. Germain.

After two personally successful seasons in France, Barcelona snapped up the up-and-coming young star in 2003 and built its future team around him. They were rewarded in 2006 by winning Europe's biggest club prize - the UEFA Champions League trophy.

AC Millan is my favorite soccer team, and if this deal goes through, AC Millan gets a quality player. He may not be the best player in the world anymore, but he can still rocket goals from way outside.

Good move by Millan if this deal goes through.
