Ronaldinho has been without a club since leaving Mexican side Queretaro last month, where he had been since September last year.
He began his distinguished career at Brazilian club Gremio, before stints in Europe at Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and AC Milan.
The forward then returned to Brazil for the first time in 2011 with Flamengo, but spent just a year there before a two-season stint at Atletico Mineiro.
Ronaldinho has also won 97 Brazil caps since his debut in 1999, scoring 33 times and winning the World Cup in 2002.
