Ronaldinho - I want to join Chelsea

Ronaldinho is gunning for a move to Chelsea after admitting that he would love to join Luiz Felipe Scolari at Stamford Bridge.

"Big Phil" guided Brazil to a memorable World Cup win just six years ago, a triumph that was built largely on the back of some stellar displays by Ronaldinho.

Not surprisingly, Ronaldinho is keen to once again link up with the man who he credits for being a key figure in his glittering career.

"It's marvellous that Scolari is interested in signing me because he's an excellent manager," said the 28-year-old.

"I have great respect for him because I've known him since I was a little kid and he was manager of Gremio.

"If this opportunity to work with him again comes off it will be beautiful.

"We have a joint history in the world of football. We won a World Cup together which I will never forget."

Not content with bringing in one Brazilian, Scolari is also rumoured to be in the hunt for Real Madrid's Robinho, speculation that has been fired by Robinho's agent admitting that his client is on the verge of agreeing a deal with the Blues.

"Chelsea have been after Robinho for a while and there has been much more contact since Scolari became coach," said Vagner Ribeiro.

"I met with Frank Arnesen in London and he confirmed that Chelsea wanted my player for next season."

Real are reportedly keen to ditch Robinho in an attempt to free up some cash to buy Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.
