Ronaldinho has heaped more misery on under-fire Avram Grant by revealing he will never sign for ugly Chelsea because they cannot play the beautiful game.

Barcelona star Ronaldinho is ready to end his fiveyear love affair with the Catalan giants this summer and remains one of Blues owner Roman Abramovich’s top transfer targets.

Abramovich desperately wants the Brazilian playmaker to add some flair to his squad but Ronaldinho, 27, is not interested.

The two-time world player of the year is still smarting from Barcelona’s encounters with Chelsea last season in the Champions League group stage where he claims he was kicked off the park.

Ronaldinho, who has also snubbed AC Milan and Inter, said: “I know Chelsea want to sign me but they are a team I do not want to play for.

“When I faced them in the Champions League they went to kick my feet before trying to get the ball.

“That kind of game is not for me and rather than ever play like that I would say, ‘no thank you’.

“I would also say no thanks to an offer from Inter or AC Milan. I am trying to give my best to Barcelona.”
