However, the 2002 World Cup winner has since decided to return home and decided a to make the Maracana his home until 2016.

"It was one of the things that motivated me to return to Brazil, going after a title that still do not have, and also because it is a club that has great players," Ronaldinho said in a statement.

"It's a very cool project and I am very happy to join these great players."

Ronaldinho has previously turned out for Fluminense's rivals, Flamengo, in the 2012/2013 season, before moving to another Brazilian outfit, Atlético Mineiro.
