AC Milan star Ronaldinho is eyeing an early return to Brazil and former club Gremio.

Ronie's brother and agent, Roberto de Assis, said: "Back to Gremio in 2011? Why not?

"It is too early to talk about it now."

Gremio president Duda Kroeff held a round of talks with De Assis and revealed: "It is clear that we would like to have here again Ronaldinho.

"The doors for him here will always be open during my management. There is no need to knock."
