体坛英语新闻：Cruzeiro in Ronaldinho talks

RIO DE JANEIRO, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Cruzeiro manager Marcelo Oliveira on Monday admitted the club is considering a move to sign Ronaldinho.

The two-time FIFA world player is reportedly seeking to leave Mexico's Queretaro, where he is contracted until September 2016.

According to Globoesporte, Ronaldinho's brother and agent, Roberto Assis, has held preliminary talks with Cruzeiro officials.

"I don't know anything. These are issues we talk about in house," Oliveira said. "Everybody knows we are looking for an attacking midfielder but there is a lot of speculation.

"He is a wonderful player. We need to see where he is at. He is a player who always imposes himself on the pitch due to his technique and talent. We need to assess his physical condition and his interest in playing competitive football in Brazil."

Ronaldinho has scored just five goals from 22 matches for the Mexican club, which he joined last September.

He is understood to have fallen out of favor with coach Victor Manuel Vicentich amid rumors of his penchant for Mexican nightlife and lax approach to training.
