Ronadinho played for Barca from 2003-2008, scoring 70 goals in 145 appearances. During that spell he won the Ballon d'Or twice and was renowned for his technique, tricks, dribbling, overhead kicks, no-look passes and free kicks.

The Brazilian international, capped 97 times, finished his eight-club career in his homeland with Fluminense in 2015.

Aged 36, Ronaldinho was about to sign for another Brazilian club, Coritiba, but Barcelona's offer seems to have slowed down the negotiations.
