AC Milan Terminate Contract With Ronaldinho

The Brazilian held a press conference in Rio de Janeiro along with his agent/brother Roberto De Assis and Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani on Thursday.

Galliani confirmed that the two parties have decided to cancel the contract.

"Milan officially announces that it has accepted the request for Ronaldinho, but we have not terminated the contract with the player."

"We are determined to help him return to play in Brazil, although this causes a great pain to [Milan President Silvio] Berlusconi. I will not leave Brazil until the player has chosen his new team."
