London: Blackburn have put forward a deal worth £20 million to take AC Milan star Ronaldinho to Ewood Park.
The Brazilian had previously been linked with a move to Rovers, but the club denied having an interest in signing the former Barcelona man.
But chairperson Arundathi Desai later confirmed that the club were interested in signing the World Cup winner, and have now made a move to bring in the 2004 and 2005 Fifa World Player of the Year.
Desai also claims that the ex-Paris Saint-Germain midfielder is interested in a move to England, as she told BBC Radio Lancashire: "He is keen to play in the EPL [English Premier League] and I think that goes in our favour."
She added: "To be precise it is €7.6m (£6.5m) for the first year and about €8.5m (£7.2m) for the second and third years.
"The impression is I've never watched a football match. I've not watched in a stadium but I have been watching the World Cup in India.
"I have watched hundreds of cricket matches but not live - it's all on TV. To say I don't have any knowledge would be wrong. I am a good listener.
"The fans have to trust us and give us some time and you will see for yourself that we are sincere people, very passionate about the football team and football club and our fans. We will not let you down."
Desai also confirmed that Rovers had tried to being in David Beckham on loan, and insisted that the doors of the club are "open whenever he is ready to come".
