MILAN: Thousands of fans turned up late Thursday as AC Milan unveiled their Brazilian new signing, Ronaldinho - 2004 and 2005 World Player of the Year.

Ronaldinho has completed an 18.5-million-euro move from Barcelona and Milan invited fans to come along for a first glimpse.

Sky TG24 television said around 30,000 fans had turned up to see their new star enter the San Siro arena in a black and red club shirt but without a number on the back.

Earlier, Ronaldinho said: "I can confirm I desperately wanted Milan. Many things have happened, but in the end I am a Rossonero.

"I'm happy to be here and I repeat, I hope to make the Milan crowd joyful," said the world champion, who joins compatriots Kaka and teen prodigy Alexandre Pato at the San Siro.
