Ronaldinho turns down Basingstoke Town to join Mexico's Queretaro

Former Barcelona star Ronaldinho has turned down an ambitious offer from Conference club Basingstoke Town.

Ronaldinho, twice the World Player of the Year, has signed a two year deal with Queretaro, the Mexican first division club said on Friday.

The 34-year-old, who has also played for Paris St Germain and AC Milan, became a free agent in July after cancelling his contract with Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro.

Basingstoke Town offered the Brazil legend the chance to end his illustrious career in the Conference South - including the price of flights and accommodation, according to the Basingstoke Gazzette.
