The Premier League side have been in contact with the agent and there is also ‘other interest in England’.

Quoted in the Daily Mirror, Ronaldinho’s agent and brother Roberto de Assis said: “Blackburn have contacted us. There is also other interest in England but this is confidential.”

AC Milan are reportedly ready to sell Ronaldinho for eight millions euros and the 30-year-old has been strongly linked with both Gremio and Flamengo.

De Assis added: “We will arrive in Porto Alegre in order to negotiate with Gremio, but nothing is decided.

“If we do not reach an agreement with a a club in Brazil then he will return to Milan as he is still a Milan player. We are not ruling anything out.”
