FC Barcelona have signed João Mendes, son of club legend Ronaldinho, on a pro-contract.
The 18-year-old joined the club’s famed academy La Masia, and will initially run out for the club’s youth teams.
Mendes took part in trials at the club in January and was now signed. He was recently a free agent after leaving Brazilian Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte in 2022.
