The dynasty continues at Camp Nou: Ronaldinho's son will sign for Barça.

Who is Joao Mendes, Ronaldinho's heir?

There is no doubt that Ronaldinho left his mark on Barcelona, ​​after his successful stint at the Catalan club between 2003 and 2008, a period in which he won two Spanish leagues, two Spanish Super Cups and a Champions League, leaving an indelible mark for culé fans. Now, everything seems to indicate that his legacy will continue with the help of his son: Joao Mendes.

For several weeks, João Mendes de Assis Moreira has been on trial in Barcelona and it seems that everything was a success, because Ronaldinho revealed on RAC-1 in Spain that his heir will spend more time at the Blaugrana club.

"I am never outside the club. Barcelona is part of my life. Wherever I go, I carry Barcelona with me. With the arrival of my son at Barça, I will be more present," confessed the Brazilian star on the 'Tu Diràs' program.

It should be noted that Ronaldinho maintains a very good relationship with Laporta, who signed him as the flagship of his first project. "I am very happy to receive such a special award and that says a lot about my time here! Returning to Barcelona and receiving the Legend Trophy from President Joan Laporta was very special..." thanked the Brazilian through his social networks.

And he added: "Thank you very much for the love of all the fans, friends, Mundo Deportivo, and the athletes who helped me evolve and win so many individual awards and important titles. To everyone from the goalkeeper to the President, thank you very much, you are part of my history... We will always be together!!!"

Although Joao Mendes' career is practically unknown, as he has not adopted a media profile like his father, Ronaldinho, and has remained in the shadows, the 17-year-old has more than reliable background to rely on to demonstrate his quality on the field.

The Brazilian attacker can play any part of the offensive line. With a remarkable scoring ability, the son of Janaína Natielle Mendes, a former dancer, went through the youth football of Paris Saint Germain, the academies of Flamengo before joining Cruzeiro.
