The 35-year-old was reportedly on the verge of joining Turkish side, Antalyaspor, while he also had offers from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China, Brazil and Argentina.

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.
