RONALDINHO is returning home after 10 years in Europe to join Brazilian club Flamengo until the 2014 World Cup.
The agreement was announced on Flamengo's website after several days of negotiations to secure the player's transfer from AC Milan. Flamengo was able to sign the 30-year-old Ronaldinho after Brazilian clubs Gremio and Palmeiras ended their efforts to acquire the two-time FIFA Player of the Year over the weekend.
"This is a very special day for Flamengo," club president Patricia Amorim said after the contract was signed following a long meeting with Ronaldinho's brother and agent, Roberto Assis, and AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani.
"Flamengo can finally celebrate, Ronaldinho is ours."
Financial details of Ronaldinho's contract with Flamengo were not immediately released, but Brazilian media said he will earn a monthly salary of more than US$600,000. He reportedly also will receive money from marketing actions related to his image.
Ronaldinho has said one of his main goals is to play for Brazil in the 2014 World Cup.
