Report: Botafogo Make Official Bid For AC Milan's Ronaldinho
A return to Brazil for the star, whose deal ends in 2011?
Ronaldinho's brother, Roberto Assis, has been seriously approached by Botafogo about a transfer from AC Milan.
Mauro Azevedo, a transfer consultant in Rio de Janeiro, today disclosed this information to Globoesporte.
He said, "Botafogo made a formal bid, which was bold and feasible.
"It's all black and white, so this isn't just a rumor. Assis himself is clearly happy with it and I think that it can go ahead."
Botafogo's interest in the former Barcelona man is well-known, with their ability to pay his wages hinging on a series of sponsorships and commercial opportunities said to be in the works.
