Ronaldinho not thinking about exit

Barcelona playmaker Ronaldinho has again played down reports that he could be leaving the Nou Camp during the January transfer window, but team-mate Eidur Gudjohnsen could be a different story.

Chelsea and AC Milan are among those clubs who have been linked to Ronaldinho, who has found himself under the media spotlight this season for some indifferent performances on the pitch and his private life off it. However, the Brazilian superstar claims he is not thinking about leaving.

"I'm not worried, I feel well, I am calm," Ronaldinho told Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo. "I stay, to fight for the team and obtain successes here."

The same thing, though, cannot necessarily be said for Ronaldinho's fellow forward Gudjohnsen, who has found it difficult to tie down a regular first-team berth at the Nou Camp since his switch from Chelsea in 2006.

The 29-year-old has started the last few matches for Barca, but when asked about whether the striker might leave in January, the Iceland international's agent and father Arnor Gudjohnsen told Spanish radio station Ona FM: "There is always a possibility.

"Things are going well but in the world of football everything changes very quickly. Eidur started badly because of injury but after that he has had minutes (of play). But, even then, we do not close any door. We have various options open and we will access them."
