The Catalans are ready to part ways with Ronaldinho following a poor season, with the Brazil legend thought to be destined for the Premier League.

Chelsea are expected to make a host of signings over the coming weeks and Ronaldinho has dropped the strongest hint yet that he could be on his way to Stamford Bridge.

The 28-year-old is full of respect for newly-appointed Blues boss Scolari after working with him at the 2002 World Cup and concedes that joining him at Stamford Bridge could be an option.

"I am a Barca player. I am only focused on training," Ronaldinho said in an interview.

"With respect to where I am going to play, if I will stay or if I will go, all that is in the hands of my brother.

"It is marvellous that Felipao (Scolari) is interested in signing me because he is an excellent coach. I have a lot of respect for him because I have known him since I was very young and he was coach of Gremio.

"If the chance came up to work with him again then it would be very good. We have a history together in the game, we won the World Cup, and that is something I will never forget."
