Ronaldinho Gaúcho is closing in on a return to Fc Barcelona. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Brazilian will negotiate a return through his brother Roberto de Assis where he will perform work as an ambassador for the club on the world stage along with becoming a member of the team of legends of Barçca.

How it came about

The meeting will take place tomorrow with Bartomeu in the club's offices, after the initial contacts were made during the opening of a commercial Barcelona office in New York and a subsequent meeting last October. 

The 36-year-old was close to signing with Brazilian side Coritiba, which would have seen him teaming up with former Barça teammate Julian Belletti. The offer from Barcelona has slowed that down, however, as Ronaldinho's desire seems to involve a return to Barcelona.
