Surprise

"It was the first time I had heard such a thing, so I really hope it is true," said Eriksson.

"We would be able to find a place in our team for him, I can guarantee that.

"I will phone the owners. It was a surprise, but if they want to package Ronaldinho for me I would accept him and be very happy."

The Swede also joked that he would be interested in acquiring the services of another high-profile Brazilian.

"I would be happy to take Kaka at the same time!" he said.
