Ronaldinho is expected to decide his future in the next 72 hours after discussions with Barcelona on Monday.

Manchester City appear favourites to sign him from the Nou Camp outfit after reportedly tabling a £25.5m bid, while AC Milan are also in the hunt.

Barcelona said: "The two sides agreed to allow two or three days to finalise the player's move to one of the clubs interested in landing the Brazilian."

If no deal is tied up in that time he will resume training with Barca.

Earlier, the Spanish club's president Joan Laporta told Catalunya Radio: "Ronaldinho and his agent have two interesting proposals and they are leaning more towards the one from City."
