Ronaldinho has expressed his desire to extend his stay at AC Milan for a long term.

As his current deal expires in June, Ronaldinho has been contacted by Liverpool and Palmeiras with a January move.

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," he said.
