Former World Player of the Year Ronaldinho will return to his home country after 10 years in Europe to join the popular Brazilian club Flamengo until the 2014 World Cup.
The agreement was announced on Flamengo's website on Tuesday after several days of negotiations to secure the player's transfer from AC Milan.
Flamengo was able to sign the 30-year-old Ronaldinho after Brazilian clubs Gremio and Palmeiras ended their efforts to acquire the two-time FIFA Player of the Year over the weekend.
"This is a very special day for Flamengo,'' Patricia Amorim, the club president, said after the contract was signed following a long meeting with Ronaldinho's brother and agent, Roberto Assis, and Adriano Galliani, AC Milan's vice president.
"Flamengo can finally celebrate, Ronaldinho is ours.''
Financial details of Ronaldinho's contract with Flamengo were not immediately released, but Brazilian media said he will earn a monthly salary of more than $600,000.
