Ronaldinho linked with Tianjin
Print Edition
TWO-TIME FIFA World Player of the Year winner Ronaldinho could continue his career in China after parting ways with Fluminense, media reports in Brazil claimed.
The 35-year-old is a free agent after ending his three-month spell with Fluminense by mutual consent on Monday.
According to respected journalist Juca Kfouri, Ronaldinho is set to be offered a contract with Chinese second-tier outfit Tianjin Songjiang, which is managed by former Real Madrid and Brazil coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo.
“Rumor has that the billionaire who took Luxemburgo to China demanded in the contract that the coach also accept the arrival of Ronaldinho,” Kfouri wrote in his column on the Uol portal.
“Time will tell if it’s truth or fantasy, but it seems to make sense,” he added.
Luxemburgo was Ronaldinho’s manager at Flamengo in 2011 but they fell out the following year, just weeks before Luxemburgo was sacked.
Ronaldinho, who failed to score or provide an assist during his nine appearances for Fluminense, kept a low profile on Tuesday. He did not post on social media and some pundits speculated that he may be considering retirement.
