The 18-year-old Joao de Assis Moreira, ex Cruzeiro, has signed for Barcelona who will use him, at least for now, for their 'Juvenil A' and 'Juvenil B' teams.
The young striker is the son that Ronadinho, a former 'Blaugrana' idol who led the club to victory in the 2006 Champions League, had from a relationship with a dancer Janaina Mendes.
