      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=

height="206" alt="" width="354" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MANCHESTER CITY have wrecked AC Milan&#8217;s bid to
sign Ronaldinho by offering him &#163;30MILLION in wages. The Italians
admitted defeat in the chase for the Barcelona star after the
&#163;180,000-a-week proposal.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;AC vice president Adriano Galliani said: &#8220;We simply
cannot compete with certain figures anymore. "I cannot ignore the
fact Italian football is now in fourth position in Europe behind
England, Spain and Germany.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&#8220;Manchester City have offered Ronaldinho &#163;9.5m a year.
&#8220;We can only compete with that if Barcelona give him away for
free.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;On top of the massive three-year wage deal for
Ronaldinho, City owner Thaksin Shinawatra will also have to stump
up &#163;20m to buy the Brazilian playmaker from Barca.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;But the former Thai prime minister hopes much of his
outlay will be recouped in commercial deals. In a year at the
Eastlands helm, Shinawatra has spent &#163;50m on players and sacked
Sven Goran Eriksson &#8212; despite him getting the club into Europe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=""&gt;New boss Mark Hughes has been told there is a lot of
cash to spend this summer. City&#8217;s offer for Ronaldinho dwarfs the
Premier League&#8217;s current biggest pay deals. England centre-backs
Rio Ferdinand at Manchester United and Chelsea&#8217;s John Terry both
pocket &#163;130,000 a week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;If he's so into money he can probably join Beckham at LA Galaxy.
Maybe he'll get around&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani admits
the Rosseneri can not compete financially with Manchester City for
the signature of Ronaldinho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;New Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola revealed on Tuesday that
he is prepared to offload Brazilian playmaker Ronaldinho over the
summer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Milan have been long-time admirers of the 28-year-old, while
Premier League club City have confirmed their interest in the
former Paris Saint Germain ace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chelsea have also been linked with a bid after Ronaldinho's
compatriot Luiz Felipe Scolari was appointed manager and there have
been reports that the player is wanted by Los Angeles Galaxy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Barcelona have yet to accept any bids for Ronaldinho, but Milan
vice-president Galliani concedes the Italian giants can not match
the wages City are prepared to offer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"For now Italian football is ranked fourth in Europe behind
England, Spain and Germany," Galliani told the Gazzetta dello
Sport.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Unfortunately we can't compete with the wages they offer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"It is the way our football is going unless we change
things.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"We'd like to offer Ronaldinho from Barcelona a chance of
playing for us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Manchester City, though, have offered the Brazilian 12million
euros (&#163;9.5million) a year. How can we compete?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Well, only if they give him to us for free!"&lt;/p&gt;</description>
