On July 19, 2003, FC Barcelona acquired Ronaldinho for £18 million. Originally, Barcelona chairman Joan Laporta had promised to bring David Beckham to the club, but following his transfer to Real Madrid, Barcelona entered the running for Ronaldinho and beat Manchester United to his signature. It was thought that a failure on the part of the English and French clubs to agree on a fee was the reason Manchester United's deal fell through. Ronaldinho is also said to have signed with Barcelona instead of Manchester United because of his friendship with former Nike executive in Brazil and Barcelona's then vice-president in charge of sports, Sandro Rosell.[

Sign "to"? You mean sign "with," right, or do Brits really say it this way? He joined Barca in 2003 and this latest contract extension was for two more seasons so now he's supposedly there thru 2010.

it is supposed to be 2010
but he could cancell it by paying loads of money which can be done since he get this kind of money..
say if Chelsea wants him then they could pay Barc. and then its finished, but i think they have to pay four the next 4 years to barc..
another way is to borrow him from them ; )
