European Soccer - Offseason Happenings with Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Adebayor, Deco

The offseason has been active as usual with several of the bigname stars making moves or having transfer speculation. 

Cristiano Ronaldo -
It looks like Manchester United has absolutely no plans to allow Cristiano Ronaldo to move clubs.  They have been in the news saying he is not for sale at any price.  Given the club's statements along with the lack of comment from Ronaldo and it looks like the star will be in a Man U uniform after he recovers from ankle surgery.

Ronaldinho -
All expectations are that Ronaldinho will be leaving Barcelona.  Rumours have been rampant for months, but nothing concrete as of yet.  Ronaldinho has expressed interest in both AC Milan and Chelsea, but neither has made an offer as of yet and Chelsea is going after others currently.  Manchester City made a huge offer of over $300,000 per week but Ronaldinho turned it down.

Emmanuel Adebayor -
It looks like Arsenal is resigned to the fact that top goalscorer Adebayor is leaving the club.  AC Milan look to be the favorites for his services.  Meanwhile, Arsenal will look to find scoring from within the squad.

Chelsea -
Once again, Chelsea look to be big spenders in the market.  They have already landed world class coach manager Luis Felipe Scolari as well as Portugese star Deco from Barcelona.  Now there is word of a huge offer to Brazilian star Kaka which AC Milan may not be able to counter.  On the other side, there are rumours of Lampard and Drogba leaving for the Italian Serie A.  Drogba looks the more likely of the two to depart.
