It's happening!Almost two months after the initial announcement that Ronaldinho would come out of retirement and sign a deal with Italian third-tier side Ravenna, the legendary Brazilian has landed in Italy, welcomed by 6,000 people, numerous media representatives, and club officials.🚨🚨| BREAKING: Ronaldinho has arrived in Italy to sign with Ravenna!He will be presented tonight as the club's new player.The Brazilian has set himself a precise goal — to score his last professional goal with Ravenna. 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/msikH5pH3E— CentreGoals. (@centregoals) August 20, 2026 It was initially revealed that Ronaldinho would become a minority owner of the 113-year-old club, though many doubted he would actually lace up his boots and play again.However, Ignazio Cipriani, part of Ravenna's ownership group and a grandson of Giuseppe Cipriani, the founder of the iconic "Harry's Bar" in Venice, put any doubts to rest, revealing the former Ballon d'Or winner's ultimate aim.“This is not window dressing or a marketing stunt. Ronaldinho will become a shareholder in Ravenna FC — that is the central point of the operation."##EDITORS_CHOICE##“He has also chosen to make an extraordinary gift to the city and to his new club: he will take to the pitch for Ravenna in an official professional match, with one clear and romantic aim — to try to score the final goal of his career,” Ignazio Cipriani said via The Athletic.So far, Ronaldinho has scored 235 goals throughout his illustrious career that took him to Gremio, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, AC Milan, Flamengo, Atletico Mineiro, Queretaro, and Fluminense, where he made his last appearance in 2015, as well as the Brazil national team, whose shirt he wore 97 times and with which he became a world champion in 2002.It is unlikely that the 46-year-old will be ready to take part in Ravenna's Serie C season opener away to Reggiana (August 24) or their first home game of the campaign against Latina (August 29).But either way, sooner or later, Ronaldinho will play again. There is now no question about it.##NAJAVA_MECA_9903576##
