Ronaldinho will not be leaving the Nou Camp during the January transfer window, Barcelona supremo Joan Laporta has insisted.

Ronaldinho will not be leaving the Nou Camp during the January transfer window, Barcelona supremo Joan Laporta has insisted.

The Brazil forward has been linked with Chelsea and AC Milan, but club president Laporta said after the 2-1 triumph over Deportivo La Coruna that Ronaldinho is staying put.

“We are not going to sell Ronaldinho,” he said. “We are not in contact with any other team (about him).”

The 27-year-old Ronaldinho, who is in his fifth campaign with Barcelona, is under contract until the end of June 2010.

His penalty equaliser five minutes before half-time against Deportivo was his sixth goal of the season.

The victory leaves Barca in second place, four points behind Real Madrid.
