PSG MAKE RONALDINHO REVELATION
The impending investigation into Paris Saint Germain's transfers has revealed that Manchester United had agreed a pre-contract agreement with Ronaldinho and his agent.
United narrowly missed out on luring the talented Brazilian to England from PSG - with Barcelona stealing in to sign the player at the last minute.
Sir Alex Ferguson has suggested that the problem with completing the deal lay with Ronaldinho's agent and brother Roberto Assis.
However, current PSG chairman Francis Graille - who was not in place at the time of the controversial move - has insisted that United had already signed an agreement with Ronaldinho that he would consider the English club first.
I am not concerned by [the investigation],” insisted Graille .
”Since I have arrived at the club the management is in the clear.
”We didn't consider the pre-agreement signed by Ronaldinho and his brother and agent Rober Assis with Manchester United.
”If some blunders were made before then we will take responsibility.
”We will make every effort to aid the police with their enquiries.”
