The rumor mill is churning on whether FC Barcelona scapegoat, Ronaldinho, is on his way out of the club. There’s been speculation for months about the Brazilians status. He was getting it in the rear from coach Frank Rijkaard a few months back; and then he had a scuffle with teammate Samuel Eto’o. It hasn’t been a secret that Catalunya no longer has ‘Dinho’ fever (not related to Dengue fever, but it’s close). Yet if one thing is certain, it’s that the words “Ronaldinho” and “sale” will have teams circling around like a Great White hunting for baby seal.

Chelsea FC and AC Milan are two powerhouse clubs currently on the hunt. And for 70million Euros, the bucktoothed futbolero might make someone’s New Year exciting. Just don’t tell that to Barça club vice-prez Ferran Sorriano.

“Ronaldinho is not for sale, neither in December, nor June. It’s inevitable that he has some problems with his game, but we’ve never thought of selling him.”

“My mistake. Did you say 70 million? Let me get a pen so you can make out the check. It’s B-A-R-C…”
