Brazil and Barcelona icon Ronaldinho is set to make a drastic return to the Catalonia region - with his son Joao Mendes set to join the famous La Masia academy.
Lionel Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas - the list goes on in terms of top talents that have graduated from Barcelona's academy to become world stars. Ronaldinho will know that all too well; he won five accolades with the Blaugrana playing alongside the aforementioned stars.
And he is set to see more action at the world's most famous youth system after he confirmed that Joao Mendes had passed a successful trial in January, potentially following in his father's footsteps. "Yes he is coming now," Ronaldinho told Marca.
