Ronaldinho looks like he is signing for Manchester United, after being linked with Newcastle United and Real Madrid. There is a 90% chance he will end up at Old Trafford.
Manchester United landed Ronaldinho for £9million last night - and signalled David Beckham's exit from Old Trafford.
United chief executive Peter Kenyon was in Paris yesterday to agree the Ronaldinho fee with Paris St Germain.
Ronaldinho is clearly excited by the deal. He said: "It is flattering that such a big club wants me. The prospect of playing in the Premiership and the Champions League is an exciting one."
All that remains is for a contract to be agreed. Looks like Newcastle missed out on a good chance there! Remember, they were going to offer Robert and £3.5M for the Brazilian!
