One of football’s greatest ever players, Ronaldinho has announced he plans to retire at the end of the season.
The former two-time World Player of the Year is without a club since leaving Fluminense, Brazil in September 2015.
The 36-year-old was linked with a return to Italy, China, the MLS and Wollongong Wolves in Australia were close to securing him for a one-game appearance, but unfortunately did not have enough funds to complete a sensational deal.
Now the ex-Barcelona star appears to be hanging up the boots after a decorated career.
“I am an old man now, I am 36,” he said.
“I am no longer 26 like I once was, and I am looking at what I can do to mark an end to my career. The plan is to play one more year.”
Ronaldinho admitted he was already in the works of planning his life after football with the end nearing even closer.
“I am immersed in new projects, related to music and football which are, as you know, my two passions,” he said.
“I am looking at new things that I have always liked and we will see what we will do this year.”
