Now, Ronaldinho's son could be the next youngster to join the club, and they hope he gets half the talent of his iconic father
According to journalist Adrian Sanchez, teenage striker Joao Mendes de Assis Moreira is currently on trial at the Nou Camp and reports in Brazil add that the decision is 'imminent'.

He is said to have trained with the club's Juvenil A team, where he has been on trial, and club president Joan Laporta is even keeping a close eye on developments.
The decision whether or not to sign the left-footed striker will ultimately rest with the coaches at the club's legendary La Masia academy While there wasn't much talent from the academy before, with Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta being mainstays of the first team for many years, there's still plenty for the club
