The Paris Saint Germain striker has recently been linked with a move to St James' Park, along with Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Ronaldinho's brother Roberto Assis, who is also his representative, will meet with and discuss terms with Shepherd when he jets to England.

Newcastle are willing to double Ronaldinho's current £19,000-a-week wages and offer winger Laurent Robert (And rumoured Olivier Bernard) to PSG in part-exchange.

Shepherd is confident he can land Ronaldinho, with the Magpies enjoying a good relationship with PSG following past dealings over Alain Goma and Didier Domi.
