Barcelona president Joan Laporta has placed a 40million euros (£31.5m) price-tag on Ronaldinho.

The Brazilian playmaker is believed to be heading for the Camp Nou exit at the end of the season following an unsettled campaign in Spain where he has struggled for form and fitness.

Milan were thought to be close to landing Ronaldinho's signature, but the moved stalled over Barcelona's asking price.

A number of Premier League club's have also been linked with a summer swoop, but Laporta is not willing to let Ronaldinho leave cheaply and has hinted that the 28-year-old could yet stay with Barcelona.
