Finally, Ronaldinho will be playing in Liga MX. After much speculation for the past few days, Club Queretaro pulled off the biggest signing of their history after confirming the two-year deal with the Brazilian superstar. The terms of the agreement are yet to be disclosed.
After arriving into Mexico on Thursday, powerful clubs like America were the alleged destiny of the former Barcelona player, but Club Queretaro appealed to a rising project and the presence of four Brazilians to convince Ronaldinho to sign for them.
The 34-year old player will wear No. 49 shirt, and confirmed the news via Twitter:
"Now it's official! Number 49, my lucky number! I'm eager to repeat and relive all those joys!"
Agora é oficial! Camiseta 49!! Meu número da sorte!! Espero repetir e viver as mesmas alegrias!! #SiempreGallos pic.twitter.com/ptwfUS83Kq
