AC Milan are a step closer to signing Ronaldinho after the Barcelona midfielder's agent admitted there was only one club for him.

After a disappointing and injury-hit season, Ronaldinho has been told by Barca that he is not part of their plans as they make wholesale changes after two trophy-less campaigns.

"Nothing has changed. We know that Milan like Ronaldinho and that Ronaldinho likes Milan and we will continue to work to bring the best player in the world to the best club in the world." Roberto De Assis, Ronaldinho's brother and agent, told the website Sportal.it.

He added: "We have always had a good relationship with Milan and always been in contact,"

"The possibility that Ronaldinho will play in the red and black shirt next year is still there and is the same as a few months ago.

Milan's bitter rivals Internazionale are also in the hunt for the Brazil star, who hinted on Sunday that he was close to a move to Chelsea to be reunited with new coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, under whom he won the 2002 World Cup.

The Argentinian press have also suggested that Ronaldinho could opt for a shock move to Boca Juniors after he reportedly talked to club officials while training with the national team.

But De Assis insists it is a one-horse race.

"We're only talking to Milan," he said. "We've never heard from Inter or Juventus out of respect for the Rossoneri.

"England? We're looking around, but it's still too soon to decide and anyway there's time until August 31 to find the right solution."
