West Ham United's hunt for a marquee signing this summer has taken another twist after it was revealed they have opened negotiations with AC Milan over striker Ronaldinho.
According to The People, Hammers owners David Gold and David Sullivan are entertaining the idea of bringing the two-time 'World Footballer of the Year' to Upton Park.
Ronaldinho only turned 30 in March and is reportedly available for just £6 million, however his excessive wage demands would still be in excess of £90,000-a-week.
Several Premier League clubs have been sounded out about the Brazil international, but it is believed the Hammers are the only side to show any real intention of making an offer.
Milan are keen to offload the former Barcelona playmaker due to financial restraints put in place by chairman Silvio Berlusconi, who wants to sell Ronaldinho in a bid to write off his £150,000-a-week wage demands.
Ronaldinho was told earlier this week by new coach Massimiliano Allegri and director Adriano Galliani, that he was welcome to finish his career at the San Siro based club.
However, having been linked with a return home to club side Flamengo or to join David Beckham at MLS side LA Galaxy, this latest development could signal a summer transfer is in store for the former World Cup champion.
