17-year-old striker Joao Mendes successfully passed the trial in the youth team of the Spanish "Barcelona" and was offered a contract.
Joao Mendes is the son of Jeanina Nattianelle Viana Mendez and early 2000s Catalan star Ronaldinho, who has already confirmed the news.
— I can confirm that Barcelona will sign Joao. Barça has always been a part of my life and my heart, and now it will continue thanks to my son,” said Ronaldinho.
Note that Joao Mendes has both Brazilian and Spanish citizenship. Before moving to Spain, he was brought up at Cruzeiro.
