Blackburn target Ronaldinho claims: No Brazilian clubs have matched AC Milan's valuation
Ronaldinho has broken his silence to warn that none of his Brazilian suitors has come close to meeting AC Milan's asking price.

[LNB] Admission: Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed Ronaldinho is heading back to Brazil[LNB]While all three clubs farcically claimed to be on the brink of clinching the deal on Tuesday, he gave a nod towards hometown club Gremio but warned they all had to up their game. [LNB]'I am not subject to auction,' said the 30-year-old. [LNB]'If it were down to me I would already be wearing the Gremio shirt, even on less money. [LNB]'The problem is not the proposal they made to me, but what Milan are asking for. Nobody has come close.' [LNB]It remains unlikely that Blackburn can take advantage of the impasse and puts pressure on Milan to reduce their demands.
