AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani said the club would soon open talks with Barcelona about the possibility of signing Brazil forward Ronaldinho.

“We’ll speak to Barcelona in the next few weeks,” Galliani told La Gazzetta dello Sport. Milan president Silvio Berlusconi repeated on Tuesday he was trying to buy Ronaldinho, though the forward’s agent said the Brazilian was not looking to leave.

Galliani, who said Milan’s transfer spending would not be curtailed by failure to land a Champions League slot, also denied reports Milan had reached an agreement to sign Gianluca Zambrotta from Barcelona.
