# Would You Pay Ronaldinho £150,000 A Week? Roy Would.

![ronaldinho](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/milan_ronaldinho-150x150.jpg)The Ronaldinho to Liverpool transfer saga rumbles on this week, with rumours coming out of Italy today that Liverpool will offer the Milan midfield maestro a staggering £150,000 per week to convince him to come to Anfield.

That’s about £7.5m pa. In the Premiership, only Yaya Toure earns more (£10m pa.)

As for Ronaldinho’s would-be teammates: Steven Gerard is on £6m pa, while Fernando Torres and Joe Cole earn roughly £4m each.

So the Brazilian would become Liverpool’s highest earner by far; Liverpool fans, is he worth it? Playing as he does these days, never in a million years. However, if he were to recapture even a tenth of his form in previous years, he’d be worth double.

And maybe, just maybe, a change of scenery at a proud and ambitious club like Liverpool is just the place for a Ronaldinho resurgence. The club’s owners must at least feel the former world player of the year is worth taking a chance on; if reports are to be believed, then their declarations when taking over that they would not just start throwing money around to secure a quick fix seem a bit hollow.

As for Ronaldinho’s availability, it seems Liverpool wouldn’t have much difficulty in persuading Milan to let the player go. When asked by *Gazzetta Dello Sport* to comment on Ronaldinho’s future at the San Siro, and whether he believed the player would ask to leave in January, coach Massimiliano Allegri stated: “At Milan, we only want players who want to be here, neither myself nor the club would hold a player here against his will, it would be against our best interests.”

So he’ll probably be going somewhere next month, then, and Anfield is still a real possibility.
