Luis Fabuloso to Corinthians? Not yet...

 

 It seems that Luis Fabiano, the "Fabuloso" won't come to Corinthians Paulista too early. Sevilla, owner of Fabiano's rights, made fun of the proposal from Corinthians. Sevilla owners want seven million euros for Fabuloso and it's unlikely that Corinthians will spend this amount of money. Instead, the "Timão" will search for an offensive player probably in the national market. 


The first target was Alecsandro from SC Internacional de Porto Alegre, but the "gaúchos" team already stated that they'll not release Alecsandro due the fact that both teams will play in Copa Libertadores.

Ronaldinho is presented as the Flamengo player and he lived happily ever after right? Not if you consider the amount of enemies that he arranged. In a spectacle that managed to be worse than the one about Lebron James going to South Florida, the auction for his rights has become a real circus.

Apart from Flamengo, Palmeiras, Gremio and Corinthians (plus foreign clubs) aspired to sign the player, but in a process led by the brother of Ronaldinho, Assis, the player managed to tarnish his image in almost all parts of the country (except for Flamengo supporters, at least for now).

Certainly one of the goals of Ronaldinho is playing in a strong league to draw attention and be present at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. However, after all  the repercussions given to that episode, the player has jeopardized its chances of being called the future.

One thing is certain. For the World Cup in Brazil, more than players doing cute-individual things with the ball, Brazil needs players who have CHARACTER!

Ronaldinho to Flamengo? According to Milan, "99.9% certain".
