Official: Ronaldinho's son Joao Mendes signs first contract with Cruzeiro
Despite being just 14 years of age, Mendes is seen to have a lot of potential for the future and, if his father is anything to go by, Cruzeiro could not go wrong with a risk on this starlet.
Mendes' contract with the Brazilian side will run until 2024 and then, perhaps, Europe will beckon.
