AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has confirmed that Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko are just a step away from joining the Rossoneri. "Ronaldinho and Shevchenko are 180 per cent Milan players,” he told Football Italia on Friday. Italian reports revealed that Barca's Txiri Begiristain and Galliani met on Thursday to negotiate the transfer of Ronaldinho. Inter Milan were also interested in signing the unsettled Barcelona forward but they seem now out of the race. “We only want to talk to Milan. He will either go there or stay at Barcelona,” Ronaldinho's agent and brother Roberto De Assis said. The 27-year old Brazilian has been under a huge pressure as he has been far from his renowned form. He has also been struggling with injuries and has been linked with a move away from Camp Nou. Meanwhile Chelsea's striker Andriy Shevchenko is very close to returning to San Siro. The 32-year old striker failed to be up to the 30m pounds transfer fee that brought him to Stamford Bridge. He became Avram Grant's fourth choice after Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou and Nicolas Anelka. The report suggests that the Ukrainian striker will spend a one-year loan at Milan with a buy-out clause of $15m.
