City to rain Milan parade?

AFP, Barcelona
Barcelona has received a 32 million euros (51 million dollar) offer for two-time world player of the year Ronaldinho from English Premiership side Manchester City, the Spanish club's president Joan Laporta said on Monday. The 28-year-old Brazilian - who is also subject to a 15million euros offer from AC Milan - will leave the club "with full honours", he told Catalunya Radio, adding the club had taken into account "the interests of the player as well as those of Barcelona" when deciding on whether he should go or not
Laporta announced the offer from Manchester City, who afe bankrolled by former Thailand Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, but did not say if the club would be the final destination for the player who was deemed surplus to requirements by Barcelona’s new coach Pep
Guardiola following a dip in form last season.
Negotiations over Ronaldinho's transfer were held over the weekend, he added.
City have persistently refused to give up on buying Ronaldinho and emailed Barcelona their offer on Sunday night according to Monday’s DailyMail-
City are also prepared to pay the 28-year-old 100,000 pounds more a week than Italian giants AC Milan have offered.
The club also believe the fact they have two other Brazilians at the club in his close friend Jo - who they broke their transfer record for earlier in the close season laying out 18million for him - and Elano could prove persuasive.
"They are refusing to be bullied out of it by Milan," a source told the Mail, who also claimed that sports kit manufacturer Nike would finance part of the deal.
"You have to admire their daring and their audacity. They still have hope that this could be possible."
However, La Gazzetta dello
Sport also reported in its Monday edition that Barcelona, AC Milan and Ronaldinho - who scored 70 goals in 145 appearances for Barca - are expected to meet in Barcelona to finalise his move to Italy.
The paper reported that after a day of a series of telephone calls on Sunday the Brazilian is returning to Spain from Porto Alegre on Monday with his agent and brother Roberto de Assis and will meet with officials from Barcelona and Milan.
Initially it was thought the player - who has not played since March 9 because of injury - was reluctant to be present at the summit following the Spanish club's refusal to release him for the Olympic Games in Beijing.
However, Ronaldinho will now meet with Barcelona's technical directorTxiki Begiristain and Milan's vice-president Adriano Galliani.
"We expect that he (Ronaldinho) or his agent will arrive this afternoon to start talking to the club,” a Barcelona spokesman told AFP on Monday, adding no time was set for the meeting.
