Manchester City executive director Taweesuk Jack Srisumrid has revealed that the Eastlands club has held talks with Barcelona star Ronaldinho.

The 28-year old Brazilian attacking midfielder's speculated summer move to Milan is reportedly stalled and the Citizens have apparently shown their interest.

"What we will look to do in the summer is to further boost the squad, bring in top-quality, internationally recognised players," Taweesuk told The Daily Telegraph.

"Superstars would help fill the stadium and help our global branding. Primarily, we must win on the pitch - it can't be a gimmick.

"We've had discussions [with Ronaldinho] but we'll see how that pans out.

"We've looked at a host of players. Man City having discussions with superstar players used to be unimaginable, but not now.

"It won't be a galacticos strategy, but older famous names. We want to build around the team we have."
