The Barcalona star Ronladinho currently has an offer in the works that would bring him here to the Galaxy. The deal entails a 16 million playing contract along with another 16 million for his image rights.
Since his debut with the Galaxy, the soccer icon Beckham has been a financial success for the team and they believe they can do the same with Ronladinho.
However, the jaw-dropping 32 million may still not be enough to entice Ronladinho to play in the MLS. The 28 year old believes that he still able to play with the best in Euro football and is going to hold out for a Champions League team.
It is still possible that Ronladinho will not be leaving Barcelona at all. Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola is sure to try and convince him to stay.
At the moment Ronladinho is vacationing in Brazil and a final decision is likely not to occur until after Euro 2008.
