Barcelona have made a final decision on whether to sign Ronaldinho's son after the young Brazilian spent time on trial at the Spanish giants.

In January, it was widely reported that the legendary footballer's 17-year-old son Joao Mendes was set to go on trial at the Blaugrana, the club at which his dad became known as one of the best players of all time.
The teenager was training with Barca's Juvenil A side earlier this year following his departure from Cruzeiro, whom he had represented since he was 14 years old.
In a recent interview, Ronaldinho has since confirmed that Mendes will sign for the Spanish giants.

"I can confirm Barcelona will sign Joao, Barça has always been part of my life and my heart and it will continue with my son," he told RAC1.
Mendes is a left-footed attacking player who is comfortable playing centrally, as well as in wide areas.
