Flamengo sign Ronaldinho

Flamengo have officially announced the signing of Ronaldinho from Milan on their official website.

Ronaldinho was linked to numerous clubs from Brazil after he was given permission to leave Milan, but he eventually opted for Flamengo.

“Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, or simply Ronaldinho Gaucho, will wear the Flamengo shirt,” read a statement on the club’s website.

The player himself was delighted with the return to Brazil.

“I can already imagine that stadium packed full of fans,” said Ronaldinho.

“They can expect maximum effort from me and obviously I hope that my hard work will get me back into the Brazil side.”
