Ronaldinho has proudly announced his desire to sweep away the red tape issues surrounding his new deal and remain at Milan for the long term.

Questions have been raised over his time at the club. Liverpool and Palmeiras have been linked with a January move as his current deal expires in June.

After seven consecutive bench appearances, Massimiliano Allegri afforded the Brazilian a start in their 2-0 loss against Ajax, but was left scratching his head.

However, Dinho, 30, has made it clear he wants to remain as he sends a message of hope to the club.

"I am tranquil in terms of staying," he told the press.

"It's an important season and we are top of Serie A for the first time since my arrival here.

"I want to put Allegri in difficulty when he plays me. It was not easy against Ajax as I was playing as a striker, but I was better in the second half."
