Angolan football club Kabuscorp said they are in talks to sign Brazil World Cup winner Ronaldinho.
The Luanda-based club is negotiating a one-year deal with Ronaldinho's brother and agent Roberto Assis, reports Xinhua.
"We are in talks with his agent to contact him for one year. It would be great to have him here and strengthen our competition," club president Bento dos Santos Kangamba said.
Ronaldinho is not the first Brazilian great to be pursued by the Kabuscorp. In 2012 the club signed Ronaldinho's former Brazil teammate and fellow 2002 World Cup winner Rivaldo on a one-year deal.
Ronaldinho, 34, is currently contracted to Mexican outfit Queretaro until November 2016. The two-time FIFA World Player of the Year has scored three goals from nine appearances since joining the club in September.
