Paris Saint-Germain want Ronaldinho AND Beckham

Ronaldinho is the latest big name to be linked with Paris Saint-Germain – and could line up alongside David Beckham at the big-spending French side in the New Year.

However, Qatari-backed PSG face opposition to sign the Brazilian double World Player of the Year from another oil-rich club, Russia's Anzhi Makhachkala.

Ronaldinho, now 31, has not been paid for three months because his side, Rio De Janeiro's Flamengo, are in financial trouble.

Reports in Brazil and Spain claim PSG technical director Leonardo - who brought Ronaldinho to Milan from Barcelona in 2008 - wants him to add more star quality to the Ligue 1 side.

Ronaldinho played for PSG from 2001-03 before signing for Barca.

Rejoining the club would see him form an exotic attack which already includes £40m Argentine Javier Pastore, who was signed in the summer, and will probably soon feature Beckham.

The Brazilian has a £140m buyout clause in his Flamengo deal, but his agents claim that will be annulled because the club have failed to honour his contract.

Anzhi, and Greek side Panathinaikos, are also interested in recruiting Ronaldinho, though.

The Russians, who have Ronaldinho's former Brazil team-mate Roberto Carlos as their player/manager, would reunite him with his former Barcelona team-mate Samuel Eto’o.

Eto’o named his dream line-up for Anzhi this week, and included Ronaldinho along with Didier Drogba and Patrice Evra.

“Here, nothing is impossible,” said the Cameroon striker. “The owner (Suleyman Kerimov) can buy who he wants.”

Beckham is expected to announce his move to PSG when he completes a post-season tour with new MLS champions LA Galaxy next week.

The French outfit are also close to completing the signature of Italian left-back Federico Balzaretti from Palermo.
