The Barcelona forward has been reported to want to leave the Nou Camp and his agent has accepted a five-year deal worth £11.6m a year, according to the Sun.

But the Brazilian could still reject Roman Abramovich and choose to go elsewhere. If Chelsea agree a fee with Barcelona, the World-Cup winner could be unveiled at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old would be the highest-paid player ever on £223,000 a week — £88k a week more than Blues skipper John Terry.

Chelsea will not have to pay Ronaldinho's £85m get-out clause after his row with Barca — but they would still have to cough up a world-record £70m.

Ron's current contract has three years to run and is worth around £135,000 a week. AC Milan are also interested but will not be able to match the Blues' offer.
