AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani claims Brazilian ace Ronaldinho has rejected a move to Manchester City
Ronaldinho is expected to leave Barcelona this summer after new coach Pep Guardiola informed the midfielder his services were no longer required at the Bernabeu.
City have been chasing the talented playmaker all summer and have already made the player an offer, but Ronaldinho's agent and brother claims a move to Milan is "90 percent likely".
Talks are ongoing, but Galliani concedes the 28-year-old's salary is an issue after Ronaldinho turned down a lucrative transfer to City.
"As for Ronaldinho, he's not in Guardiola's plans, so he has a different price," Galliani said.
"But the problem is the salary - to pay him his salary it would mean his arrival would not cost much. A loan? It depends on Barcelona.
"Ronaldinho rejected Man City's offer, who were ready to give him double what we had offered."
