THUMBS UP ... new Chelsea boss Scolari will assess Ronaldinho
RONALDINHO sent out a dramatic plea to new Chelsea manager Phil Scolari: Sign me and Ill resurrect my career.
It was revealed that Big Phil will contact Brazilian playmaker Ronnie in the next few days to assess his hunger and desire.
Scolari is aware that signing Ronaldinho, 28, from Barcelona is a huge gamble after he was plagued by injury and personal problems last season.
But his brother and agent, Roberto de Assis assured fans that the two-time World Player of the Year would relish a new start.
Ronnie was part of Scolaris World Cup- winning Brazil side in 2002 and Assis said: At the moment Ronaldinho is taking a complete break at home in Porte Alegre.
There are options for next season and obviously he knows Scolari very well and they have enjoyed great success together.
Well see what happens but my brother will be ready for next season.
Assis has met with Chelsea in the past about a possible move for Ronaldinho who is also a target for new Manchester City boss Mark Hughes.
But the chance to link up with the coach who brought the brilliant best out of him with Brazil will be very tempting.
Barca have indicated their willingness to sell Ronnie after five years at the Nou Camp.
The fee will be around £20million and Ronnie will want around £120,000 per week.
Those figures will not deter Chelsea, though their willingness to buy him will depend on Scolaris assessment.
