"We are happy to announce we have managed
to bring Ronaldinho to Atletico," said his new club president Alexandre Kalil on the
team website after netting the 32-year-old former Barcelona and Milan star and
ex-world player of the year.
Ronaldinho, World Cup winner in 2002, will
receive around 150,000 dollars in basic salary a season compared with nearer
600,000 at Flamengo, according to Lancenet web portal.
Pele meanwhile defended Ronaldinho amid
criticism of his recent showings for "Fla".
"I think it's a little unjust - he is no
longer the Ronaldinho of ten years ago but he is talented... Flamengo are not
doing well and as a result neither is Ronaldinho."
