Ronaldinho won't consider a revenue share with Barcelona over his image rights.
Barca sources have told AS that club directors, headed by vice-president Ferran Soriano, approached Ronaldinho's agent and brother, Roberto de Assis, about discussing a new contract, including an image rights agreement. But Assis rejected the request.
Ronaldino is on £6 million-a-year at the Nou Camp, but his image rights brings in a massive £12 million-a-year.
The Brazilian wants to extend his current deal through to 2014, which potentially could see Barca miss out on a staggering £80 million-plus through image rights.
