Barcelona sporting director Txiki Begiristain remains "totally convinced" Ronaldinho will not leave for Chelsea and shrugged off rumours that Chelsea's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich held two meetings with Ronaldinho's brother and adviser in a bid to persuade the Barcelona star to join the Blues.
Begiristain insisted Ronaldinho, who has three years left on his current contract, is staying at the Nou Camp.
Chelsea were linked with a £40million move for the Brazilian super-star.
Meanwhile, Liverpool fresh from their 4-0 thrashing of Toulouse in the Champions League on Tuesday night have tabled a bid of 20million euros (£13.5million) for Real Madrid striker Julio Baptista.
The Brazilian - nicknamed 'The Beast' - spent last season on loan at Arsenal but failed to shine consistently, although he did net four goals as the Gunners beat Liverpool 6-3 in a Carling Cup tie at Anfield in January.
After helping Brazil win the Copa America over the summer he was linked with a move for AC Milan, but it is now claimed Rafael Benitez has entered the bidding with an offer that may be enough to tempt Real to sell.
