It’s finally official: 2-Time World Player of the Year and 30-year-old Brazilian international Ronaldinho has signed for Brazilian club Flamengo, thanks to a falling out with AC Milan. He only made 4 appearances for the Italian club and his transfer to Brazil has long been rumored, but mostly to his boyhood club Gremio. His contract will run through the end of 2014. He also was heavily linked to the Los Angeles Galaxy, EPL side Blackburn, and Palmeiras, another Brazilian club. Overall, it’s sad to see the electric player leave Europe. Most people will not see Ronaldinho play again on television, so in reality, this may be another Fat Ronaldo story. It’s a shame really; he was just beginning to regain some of his form back last campaign and now he’s gone from the spotlight. Regardless, it’ll be nice to see the buck-toothed Brazilian happy again. He’s got enough money to last him a while, despite his ridiculous party antics from time to time.
So for now, farewell Ronaldinho. I hope to see your ridiculous and goofy smile on the pitch once more, mainly in Brazil gear.
