Samba superstar opens door to move

Ronaldinho has opened the door for a move to Chelsea after admitting he wants to play in the Premiership next season.

The Brazilian ace has been told he can leave Barcelona during the summer and a move to England looks to be on the cards. Manchester City are known to be keen but Chelsea are favourites to land him following the appointment Luiz Felipe Scolari as the club's new boss.

Scolari knows Ronaldinho well from his time in charge of Brazil and it is thought the playmaker will sign for the Blues along with Deco.

"Every player would love to play in such a competitive championship like the English league," Ronaldinho told Globo TV. "I'm happy because almost all the teams want me to play for them.

"I'm very happy for him (Scolari). I admire him a lot and I hope he can make all his dreams come true. I wish him well."
