Brazil ace Ronaldinho has categorically stated that he is not thinking of anything other than staying with Barcelona.

Amidst speculations that the 27-year-old attacking midfielder is contemplating a move to AC Milan, Ronaldinho told a press conference: "Really, I don't think about anything other than Barca.

"I want to rest up and prepare well to be with my Barcelona team-mates next season. I've always said that I felt good here."

"I have a contract here and I don't think about those things. I focus solely on my football," added Ronaldinho, who is tied up with Nou Camp until 2010.

On his inconsistent form this season for Frank Rijkaard’s side, the former Gremio and PSG player said: "The fact I couldn't prepare myself during the pre-season has been fundamental.

"I haven't had a run of good matches. I've scored more goals than ever but without enjoying the consistency of previous years."

He is currently the fourth-highest goal-scorer in La Liga with 18 goals.

Ronaldinho also argued that he has a valid reason for asking Dunga to leave him out for the June 26-July 15 Copa America 2007 tournament in Venezuela.

"This season has been very tough," he said.

"I haven't had the chance to prepare properly with my (Barca) team-mates and that has plagued me all season long. I don't want the same thing to happen next year."
