The agent of AC Milan forward Ronaldinho has denied suggestions that his client will leave the Rossoneri this summer.

Reports in Brazil claimed the AC Milan playmaker was in talks with South American giants Flamengo and that a verbal agreement had been reached between the club and the player.

"Ronaldinho has never expressed a wish to leave Milan," said Ronaldinho's agent and brother Roberto de Assis to Gazzetta dello Sport.

"In fact we have an agreement with Milan to review his contract in the autumn."

The 30-year-old joined Milan from Barcelona in the summer of 2008.

Ronaldinho helped the Rossoneri finish in the top four in Serie A last season and is under contract for another year.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has also played down reports that Ronaldinho is set to move to Flamengo.

The San Siro supremo told Gazzetta dello Sport: "There are not any loopholes and Ronaldinho has never showed that he wants to leave.

"There is a general agreement to consider his contract situation in the autumn."
