Ronaldinho to get Spanish passport
Brazilian ace Ronaldinho, seen here 22 August 2007, is set to be handed a Spanish passport, allowing his club Barcelona to recruit another non-European player
MADRID (AFP) - Brazilian ace Ronaldinho is set to be handed a Spanish passport, allowing his club Barcelona to recruit another non-European player, the Spanish club announced Thursday.
Spanish league sides are only permitted three non-Europeans and the arrival of Giovanni dos Santos had caused a brief dilemma for the Catalans, who also have Samuel Eto'o of Cameroon and Ivory Coast's Yaya Toure on their books.
Mexican Dos Santos, however, is set to be handed double nationality "in the coming days", according to the club.
