It has become a fact that Ronaldinho will leave AC Milan in January, and the remaining suspense is which of the following clubs will get Ronaldinho: LA Galaxy, Gremio, Flamengo, or Palmeiras. As Ronaldinho's brother and agent, Assis said: "Whoever wants Ronaldinho needs to negotiate with AC Milan." Currently, Ronaldinho's former club Gremio is basically set to be the ultimate winner of this competition. Yesterday, local time, Gremio club president Paulo Odone announced that Ronaldinho and Gremio had already signed a preliminary agreement. "Between Gremio and Ronaldinho, everything has been decided. The only thing left is for Assis to negotiate with AC Milan. He needs to persuade AC Milan to let Ronaldinho transfer for free. The important thing is that Ronaldinho himself wants to go home." This was what Odone publicly released on RBS TV in Brazil yesterday. In fact, it is an open secret that Galliani will go to Brazil during the Christmas holiday. He will discuss Ronaldinho's issue with Assis. For AC Milan, who is eager to send away Ronaldinho to save part of his salary, they certainly don't have the heart to try to cash in on him anymore. The "contract termination" mentioned by Odone is not an impossible dream. Regarding Odone's statement that "everything has been decided," the latest news from Brazil is that negotiations between Assis and Gremio are going very smoothly. Both parties have basically reached an agreement on a contract with an annual salary of 3.5 million euros. Although it is much less than the 8 million he earned at AC Milan, it is still quite good in Brazil. Moreover, the contract includes various bonuses for goals scored, appearances, and rankings, with a maximum possible total of 5 million. At the same time, this contract also gives Ronaldinho the right to his own image. His advertisements and endorsements will not be shared with the Gremio club.
