Anything is possible. But right now Rivaldo is still at Barça, and he still has to play important matches for us. So we rather focus on that.

People here's the article i also posted on the italian forum of Milanmania.This could be more than just rumours as Berlusconi said that he would build for next year a team worthy of the name Milan!
Forza Magico Milan!

Rivaldo vede rossonero


Silvio Berlusconi vuol regalare una grande colpo ai tifosi rossoneri e ormai non ci sono dubbi sul fatto che si tratti di Rivaldo. Il brasiliano del Barcellona è quel giocatore di qualità che Zaccheroni ha tanto richiesto in questa stagione soprattutto dopo l’infortunio a Zvonimir Boban. Il Milan è davvero vicino ad assicurarsi il fuoriclasse della Seleçao che, più volte, ha manifestato un certo malcontento per il rapporto con Luis Van Gaal. Non è stata certamente una grande impresa convincerlo a lasciare la città catalana per raggiungere il Bel Paese. La concorrenza della Lazio è sempre viva, ma al momento il sodalizio di via Turati è decisamente in vantaggio. Al giocatore andrebbe una cifra attorno ai 10 miliardi a stagione, mentre è ancora da definire l’accordo tra le due società. L’operazione infatti si aggira attorno ai 100/120 miliardi. Certamente verrà inserito qualche giocatore di particolare gradimento a Van Gaal. Sempre sull’asse Milan-Barcellona, Ariedo Braida avrebbe fatto un sondaggio anche per Pep Guardiola, ma al momento la trattativa è decisamente in fase embrionale.

Here's the translation of the above=article.
Here it goes:
Next year Berlusconi (Milan's President) wants to give a Huge gift to Milan's tiffosi
(fans) by bringing in some world class players and its not a doubt that Rivaldo is one of them.The brazilian is the type of top quality player that Zaccheroni (Milan's coach) was requesting this season especially after the injury of their playmaker Zorro Boban. Milan is very close of signing the brasilian who in more than one occasion has expressed his miscontentment with Van Gaal. It was not an easy task to convince Rivaldo to leave the Catalan city to join Italy. At the current time, Lazio's willingness to sign him is still high, but the Club from Milan seems to be having the edge. Rivaldo would get around 10 Billion Lira (around 7.5M$) per year, even tough the sums in question between the 2 teams is still to be determined
But it should be around 100/120 Billion Lira
(between 60 and 80 M$)!!!Obviously Milan will also give some players to Barca in exchange. Also, Ariedo Braida, one of the main figures of AC Milan, is also on the first stages of negociations of possible transfer of another Barca great player, Pepe Guardiola...
Anyone has more info on that?
Forza Magico Milan!
Hala Madrid!
Allez Les Bleus!
Arriba Espana!
