"Yes, we have made an offer to Ronaldinho but it is still in the early stage," Venkateshwara Rao, joint managing director of Indian poultry giant Venky's, told Reuters.
"Similarly, we have made an effort to get Beckham on loan but again, nothing has come out of it so far."
"I know there has been contact made by the owners to representatives of Ronaldinho but I don't know how far down the line it is and whether it will actually happen," Kean, who stepped up from assistant manager after Sam Allardyce was fired last month, told reporters.
"If any Premier League manager was asked if they wanted to sign someone who has been World Player of the Year twice they would be interested.
"Everyone should look at it as a positive, it has been a long time since we have been able to do that."
Rao declined to reveal how much the club was offering Ronaldinho to lure him to Ewood Park after the former world player of the year left AC Milan's Dubai training base to return to Brazil and find a new club.
"I'm sorry he went away, he is the greatest player in the world in terms of speed of thought and execution. But it was his choice to return to Brazil," Berlusconi told reporters on a visit to a Milan training session in Rome.
