Agent Refuses To Rule Out January Move For Milan Playmaker Ronaldinho

    Milan could lose Ronaldinho next month

Milan playmaker Ronaldinho could still leave the Rossoneri in January, according to his agent and brother Roberto de Assis.
The Brazilian has failed to hold down a regular place in coach Massimiliano Allegri's starting line-up and has also struggled with injuries so far this campaign. 
His brother has added fuel to speculation that the 30-year-old, whose current contract with the club expires at the end of the current season, could head for the exit door next month.
“Football evolves in such a rapid fashion,” De Assis toldJogo Aberto. “Today a transfer away from Milan seems difficult, but I don’t know what will happen in the next few days. Everything can change suddenly.
“Returning to Brazil would allow him to win the two titles he is missing, the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirao," he added. "It would be very important to add these to his trophy cabinet.

“Where could he go? A great deal depends on the club, the coach and the project that is proposed to him.

Valencia blow two-goal lead in draw with Osasuna....

MADRID, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Valencia were whistled off after squandering a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 at home to Osasuna on Monday, missing out on the chance to close on the Champions League places in La Liga

The visitors, who had started the day without an away win in the league, almost snatched victory when Masoud struck the crossbar in the last minute.

Valencia stay fifth with 25 points from 15 games, three short of fourth-placed Espanyol who lost 2-1 at Athletic Bilbao at the weekend. Barcelona top the standings with 40 points, two ahead of Real Madrid.

Roberto Soldado had volleyed Valencia in front after 24 minutes and Marius Stankevicius doubled the lead from a corner soon after.Juanfran pulled one back for the Navarrans in the 41st, but Valencia immediately restored their two-goal cushion when Aritz Aduriz headed in from a near post corner.

Valencia goalkeeper Cesar, who had just returned from injury for the hosts, committed an error to allow Miguel Flano to pull one back for the visitors with half an hour to go.

Osasuna piled forward looking for the equaliser, striking the woodwork twice before striker Juan Aranda scrambled the ball home three minute from time.

Europa League - Kuyt relishing facing old team-mates

Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt is hoping Roy Hodgson will not decide to rest him for Wednesday's Europa League clash with his old club Utrecht

The Reds have already qualified for the knockout stages and boss Hodgson has hinted he will make changes for the Anfield match, meaning Kuyt could miss out on a reunion with the club he represented from 1998 to 2003.

The 30-year-old told Liverpool`s website: "I have missed a few games through injury this season and I hope I can feature against my former club.

"We play a lot of games in a season and obviously you can't play in every game but it would be nice to play against Utrecht at Anfield.

"We have done really well in the Europa League and it would be nice to finish the group stages with a good performance at home.

"I had some good times at Utrecht and a lot of people are still there at the club who I am good friends with."
