Ronaldinho's agent and brother has cooled reports of a summer switch from Barcelona to Manchester City.
City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson welcomed claims that Roberto de Assis was in attendance during Saturday's Premier League meeting with Chelsea to discuss a reported summer move to the City of Manchester Stadium.
However, de Assis claims the Brazil playmaker is currently not looking to leave the Spanish giants, where he is contracted until 2010.
"My work is connected with the world of football and it is usual for me to travel and talk about personal matters when I think it is necessary," de Assis told Don Balon.
"Ronaldinho has a contract until 2010 and I am not looking for anything."
The 28-year-old former world and European player of the year has been linked with various clubs across the continent after struggling with form and fitness for the past 18 months.
Chelsea and Liverpool, alongside AC Milan, continue to be mentioned as likely targets should Ronaldinho decide to leave the Camp Nou.
