Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed speculation that Ronaldinho’s son is set to join the Catalan giants.
It’s been reported that João de Assis Moreira has undergone a successful trial at the Camp Nou after leaving Brazilian side Cruzeiro.
Laporta told a press conference on Thursday that the youngster will stay on at Barca.
“We are really happy Ronaldinho — and his brother, Roberto — thought of Barca to continue his son’s career,” Laporta said.
“He was at Cruzeiro, he’s very young and he’s training with us, but we will give him a contract.
