The forward of the Spanish superclub, Brazilian Ronaldinho, says he "would not leave Barcelona even for all the money in the world". Recently there have been rumors that Chelsea is willing to pay up to 50 million Euros (about 242 million litas) for this Brazilian talent.
Ronaldinho is the top scorer for Barcelona and one of the main figures influencing the renaissance of the Catalan club in the second half of the season. This season, the player has already scored 17 goals and quickly became one of the favorite players among the fans of the Catalan club.
"Everything is going perfectly and I don't even think about leaving Barça," said the 24-year-old player. "My family is here - I feel great and I really lack nothing."
When asked about Chelsea, the player said: "It is always nice to know that someone notices your work and is interested in you".
"I would not leave Barcelona for all the money in the world," Ronaldinho delighted the club's fans. "Happiness is more important to me than money. I always prioritize happiness and only do what brings me pleasure."
Ronaldinho joined Barcelona in the summer of 2003, when the Catalan club paid more than 21 million pounds (about 110 million litas) to Paris Saint-Germain. Football legend Diego Maradona recently said about this player: "His speed with the ball, incredible deceptive movements, especially quick reaction and accurate decision-making make him better than players like Totti and Ronaldo". However, coach Luis Fernandez also revealed the negative side of the Brazilian: "Undoubtedly, Ronaldinho is the most difficult character player I have ever encountered. On the field, he is incomparable, but off the field he is a problematic personality - he never admits his mistakes. As a result, the whole team often suffers".
