Ronaldinho’s brother and agent, Roberto de Assis, has dismissed reports claiming he has reached agreement to sell the Brazilian to Chelsea.
It was reported on Wednesday in a number of Spanish newspapers that a deal between Chelsea and Ronaldinho was in place.
However, de Assis has denied that he has had any contact with Chelsea.
“I have not received any bids,” de Assis told El Mundo.
“I cannot receive offers, the one that can is Barca – so ask them.”
De Assis was speaking as he arrived at Barca’s training ground, although he denied claims that he had arrive din the city to finalise details of Ronaldinho’s move.
“I have only come to see the family, my brother and have some fun,” he continued.
“I have not read the newspapers, but for me it is a big surprise because I have not spoken with anyone,” he said.
De Assis insisted that relations between his brother and Barcelona were amicable.
“It is very good, very quiet,” he added.
“We have a fantastic relationship [with Barca] and a contract until 2010.
“However, every Wednesday and Sunday there is another story written and everything in football changes very quickly.
“He [Ronaldinho] is a professional who is accustomed to what happens in football.
“It is regretful to hear a lot of things that come from people who do not know about the situation.
“He is working very hard to return to what he was and you can expect more from him in the future.”
