AC Milan’s newest star Ronaldinho said Wednesday that he “really wanted to come to Milan” and found it “great” that so many Brazilians are playing for the Italian giants. Barcelona said Milan will pay $33.6 million for Ronaldinho and an additional $6.4 million if the Italian club clinches a place in the 2009-10 Champions League.
Ronaldinho is expected to play alongside striker Pato and midfielder Kaka on a revamped Milan squad looking to win the Serie A title this season.
“I’m happy to be here and I hope I can provide a lot of joy to Milan’s fans,” Ronaldinho told AC Milan’s TV station in his first interview as a member of the Rossoneri.
“It’s great to find so many Brazilians, and also so many other champions wearing the Milan jersey.”
