Barcelona star Ronaldinho has revealed he would like to play in England one day and hinted Chelsea could be a possible destination.

The World Cup winner was close to joining Manchester United 18 months ago but the Stamford Bridge club - who will take on Barca in the Champions League in February - are now the attractive proposition to Ronaldinho.

He told the News of the World: 'Any great player would want to be part of such a sensational team.

'My brother, who is also my agent, has spoken to me about Chelsea many times.

'I had a chance to move to them before I came to Barcelona but at that time, even though they offered more money, I was not interested.

'But I have seen since then that Chelsea have a great infrastructure.

'What they are doing is absolutely amazing and it is a place where great things are going to happen in the future.

'I respect them a lot and I can maybe see myself living in London one day.'

Ronaldinho added: 'I am happy in Barcelona but I cannot rule out playing in another country in the future.

'I would love to play in England to prove that technical players can succeed there.'
