Newcastle United are planning on exploiting strong links they have with PSG, in order to sign Brazilian Ronaldinho, ahead of Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Newcastle United are attempting a sensational move to trump Manchester United and Real Madrid for Ronaldinho.

Sir Bobby Robson is planning to exploit the strong links the club has with Paris Saint Germain to land the Brazilian ahead of United and Real Madrid.

The Sunday Mirror says that Sir Bobby Robson is ready to offer PSG £3 million plus winger Laurent Robert in exchange for Ronaldinho.

We all thought he was going to Man Utd, but recent reports are making it a very interesting race. Real Madrid have just offered him a 60K a week contract.

Now it is Newcastle's turn to join in.

A Newcastle source, which we cannot name, said: "We want to bring Ronaldinho to Tyneside. We know we face a massive obstacle when clubs as big as Manchester United and Real Madrid are also being linked with him.

"But there are a lot of complications in Manchester United's proposals and we think we can offer PSG an attractive package."
