 Ronaldo ruptured a tendon in his left knee in February
|
Former Brazil striker Ronaldo has agreed to join Sao Paulo-based outfit Corinthians after fighting back from a serious knee injury.
The 32-year-old, who left AC Milan last June, made his comeback in a charity match in Morocco last month.
"We've reached a verbal agreement for Ronaldo to play there (Corinthians)," said his agent Fabiano Farah.
The Brazilian has agreed a one-year contract with the club who have won promotion back to the first division.
Corinthians confirmed negotiations were at an advanced stage.
"In the next few hours, the two sides should provide the final formalities to close the deal and set a date for the presentation of the athlete," said a statement on the club's website.
It will be the first time Ronaldo has played for a Brazilian club since leaving Cruzeiro at the age of 17 to join PSV Eindhoven.
