BARCELONA reject Ronaldinho may still be struggling to find himself a new club, but sources close to the Brazilian claim he could still be set to link up with compatriot Kaka at AC Milan in Italy.
The Serie A giants claim Barca have priced them out of the market for the Samba star with Manchester City supposedly interested in taking the 28-year-old to England for the new season. But the former Paris St Germain man's agent and brother, Roberto de Assis, is clearly trying to curry favour with the Italians. He said: "The chances Ronaldinho will play for Milan next year are the same as they were a few months ago. We know Ronaldinho likes Milan and Milan like Ronaldinho and we'll keep working to take the world's best player to the world's greatest club."
BEANPOLE striker Peter Crouch could find himself on the Liverpool bench again this season after Portsmouth coach Harry Redknapp pulled out of a swoop for the England man, claiming he was too expensive. Crouch managed 11 goals last term despite playing second fiddle to Spain striker Fernando Alonso.
But Liverpool have turned down an $18m bid for the striker, who worked under Redknapp at Southampton. And the Pompey boss said: "I'd love to bring Crouchie back here. We are trying to do deals to bring in players and (chief executive) Peter Storrie is working on trying to get things done. But the fee seems a bit too high, and at the end of the day it comes down to the price. It seems like things are getting a bit too expensive. Crouchie is a player who is on our list, but if nothing can be done then we will just move on to the next player."
JUVENTUS striker David Trezeguet will not be leaving for a move to Barcelona unless the Spanish side stump up around $50m. The striker scored 20 goals last term in Serie A and the French national team could clearly have done with his efforts after limping out of the Euro 2008 group stages without him.
But agent Antonio Calliendo said: "He wants to stay. I must stress that the player does not want to go."
