Controcampo says the Dutch veteran has concerns over the imminent arrival of Barcelona star Ronaldinho. Seedorf has enjoyed an attacking role this season and fears he will be asked to revert to a more defensive position in midfield with the Brazilian's signing.

The prospect of no Champions League football is also weighing on Seedorf's mind.

Valencia have already made a concrete approach to Milan for the 32 year-old and cash-plus-player offer involving Italian left-back Emiliano Moretti has been mooted.
