However, this is the challenge that Joao Mendes, 17, son of the former player of PSG (2001-2003), FC Barcelona (2003-2008) or AC Milan (2000 - 2011), as well as of course the Seleçao (97 caps 33 goals), winner of the 2002 World Cup.
According to his father who announced it this Tuesday morning on Catalan radio, RAC1, Ronaldinho junior is well on the way to joining FC Barcelona.

The son, who looks a lot like his father physically, holds Brazilian and Spanish passports, like Ronaldinho senior.
It now remains for him to finalize the signature, to make his mark, and above all to begin to assume the legacy of his brilliant and whimsical dad.
