Ronaldinho seemed to be set on moving to Manchester City from Barcelona next season, but representatives of Ronaldinho are now saying that he will be turning them down unless the current offer is increased.
City are said to have offered Ronaldinho a set contract worth £8million with an added £1.6m in bonuses, if the club qualify for Europe next season. This would seemingly beat his current deal at Camp Nou which has 2 years left on it, but that might not be enough.
As a quick comparison, The Guardian reports this new deal would equate to eventual weekly wages in the region of £200,000, which is close to what Ronaldo will probably be getting next year at an estimated £220,000 per week if he stays at Manchester United.
There is a possibility Ronaldinho is just unhappy about some personal terms, and less concerned about the financial offer, but Manchester City is still confident that they will land the transfer of the summer. Eastlands directors are to travel to Brazil in an attempt to reach an agreement with his brother and agent Roberto De Assis Moreira.
