AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed his club are interested in signing Barcelona's troubled star Ronaldinho.

The Brazilian playmaker is looking ever more likely to leave the Nou Camp at the end of the season and the 28-year-old will have no shortage of offers, with Chelsea, Liverpool and Milan among the clubs keen to acquire his services.

"Ronaldinho is a great player," admitted Ancelotti. "Milan's interest in him has been there for a long time.

"At this time he is a Barcelona player and the club is evaluating the development of this situation.

"He is a champion that interests several clubs."

Ronaldinho, who has struggled to make an impact this campaign with the Catalan giants, could miss the rest of the Primera Liga season having been ruled out for six weeks with a thigh injury sustained on Thursday.
