Ronaldinho failed to turn up for Barcelona's pre-season medical examinations amid reports that an announcement that he has joined AC Milan will be made.
The Brazilian superstar was due back at Camp Nou along with the rest of the squad, but as predicted did not attend and will now be subject to a disciplinary measures by the Catalan club.
That will only happen, of course, if he remains a Barça player for much longer after reports in Italy suggested that a deal to move to Milan will be concluded this week.
One man who is confident that the transfer is all set up is the Rossoneri's Spanish agent, Ernesto Bronzetti, who never misses a chance to have his name in the press.
"I spoke with Ronaldinho as he was leaving Porto Alegre for Barcelona and he told me I want to play for you'," Bronzetti told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
According to the paper, the fee will be a mere €15m because both the Blaugrana and the player want the saga to be finished before pre-season begins in earnest.
Manchester City were reported to have made a mega offer to Barça, but for Ronaldinho it was not about the money and he was never interested in a move to Eastlands once Milan became involved.
A meeting between Barça's technical secretary, Txiki Begiristain, and Milan's vice president, Adriano Galliani, will iron out any remaining problems and a public statement will be made.
