Chelsea give up the chase on Ronaldinho

After two year of non-stopping rumours about Ronaldinho being transferred to Chelsea this story is history. The official chairman of Chelsea Bruce Buck has put an end to all talks with his last reaction:

"I don't see it being likely that Ronaldinho will be here next year. Anything was a possibility and certainly there had been rumours and discussions of that, but I don't see it happening."

As a main reason the following was given:

"We are looking to balance some losses at the club, and a player like Ronaldinho will blow up the already huge money spent in recent years on buying new players. We have to focus on less expensive players and hope they will become of great value to us in the future when we want to sell them."

However people talk that the real reason is the fact that FC Barcelona are refusing to sit down on the table and negotiate over Ronnie's eventual move.
