AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani claims Ronaldinho has rejected a lucrative offer from Manchester City, despite the English club offering twice what the Italian giants can. Milan and City have both vigorously pursued the signature of Ronaldinho this summer after Barcelona announced they were open to offers for the Brazil playmaker.

The Rossoneri however are short on cash and have admitted they cannot compete financially with City's offer. The player himself has said publicly that he would prefer a move to Milan or even Chelsea.
