Former Barcelona forward Ronaldinho is about to announce that he had parted ways with Atletico Mineiro and has in fact joined a new club.

Ronaldinho had spent two years of his life in his Brazilian outfit, and these years were well-spent as a matter of fact for this included winning the Copa Libertadores when he joined in 2012 right after his departure from Flamengo.

The 34-year-old Brazilian legend has received many invites from different clubs. The athlete must have a hefty number of suitors waiting for him to decide his fate. On Wednesday, Ronaldinho is set to unravel his path to his next destination as he is about to announce this new club that he has joined in.

His agent and brother, Roberto de Assis, said: "He will play until he's 42. He will reveal his future destination on Wednesday."

Levir Culpi, the Almeiro Minero boss, admitted that he was rather sad to see Ronaldinho go. "I can't call on Ronaldinho anymore. His cycle with us has ended. It's unfortunate because he's an idol to all of us." he said.

Culpi added that everyone loves Ronaldinho's football and his mere game play. According to him, the Brazilian legend is a very charismatic person. "But that's the way it goes. He's leaving and we must move on without him."

During a glittering career which saw him win 97 caps for Brazil, Ronaldinho enjoyed a spell with Gremio before moving to Europe and spending time with Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and AC Milan before moving back to Brazil with Flamengo in 2011.
