Ronaldinho commits himself to AC Milan

Milan: Ronaldinho says he is fully dedicated to AC Milan following an off-season filled with transfer speculation.

The 2004 and 2005 FIFA World Player of the Year told the Gazzetta dello Sport on Friday that he's happy at Milan, adding, "I'm here to play and I let my brother worry about the market questions." Ronaldinho's brother, Roberto de Assis, is also his agent.

Ronaldinho had been linked with a move to the Los Angeles Galaxy and missed the opening of Milan's pre-season training. After a week of running, he said he was ready to play in Friday's pre-season TIM Cup against Inter Milan and Juventus.

After missing the World Cup squad, Ronaldinho said he's hoping to return to the national team under new Brazil coach Mano Menezes.
