Ronaldinho in talks with Argentine club
Rio de Janeiro: Ronaldinho is considering an offer to join a club in Argentina, his brother and agent said.
The two-time FIFA World Player of the Year and World Cup winner is a free agent after terminating his contract with Mexico’s Queretaro last month, a news agency reported.
In an interview with Brazil’s Blog do Boleiro, Roberto Assis said his brother had attracted interest from clubs in Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China, Brazil and Argentina.
When asked which Argentine club had shown interest, Assis replied: “I can’t say. But it’s a serious proposal.”
He added: “We need to know the objectives of the clubs that want to sign him. And we need to know why we would decide to go here or there. It’s not just about money.”
Assis said a decision on Ronaldinho’s future is likely be made this week.
The 35-year-old former Barcelona idol was linked with a move to Boca Juniors last July before signing with Queretaro.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
