Dec 30, 2010 5:15:00 PM

Ronaldinho's exit from Milan now seems a formality...

Ronaldinho is closer to the Milan exit door after a meeting between the player's brother and agent Roberto De Assis and Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani.

The 30-year-old has been linked with an exit, with many feeling the writing was on the wall after limited appearances this season under coach Massimiliano Allegri and the acquisition of Antonio Cassano from Sampdoria.

Galliani was originally quoted as saying that the Brazilian no longer felt a part of Milan's project and would be sold to the club that made the best offer for the player, but Sky Sports later dismissed those statements from the Rossoneri official.

However, speculation has continued to gather steam regarding his departure from the Serie A giants with Gremio remaining in pole position for his signature.

Ronaldinho joined the Rossoneri in 2008 from Barcelona for a reported fee of €18.5 million. He is currently ranked 234 in the Castrol Rankings despite having a minimal impact for the league-leaders this season.
