Milan's last offer was for £17 million, which falls short of the £25 million Barca are seeking, but is still in the range that is expected to see Ronaldinho finally complete his move to Serie A.
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani will fly to Barcelona next week in an attempt to thrash out the final details of the agreement. The Italian giants are willing to pay Ronie a cool £6.5 million-a-year in compensation for the cut he will take from his Nike endorsement deal by playing for adidas-sponsored Milan.
