Brazilian football great Ronaldinho is reportedly set to visit Jamaica in early December, according to reliable sources.

The reason for his trip to the island has not been disclosed.

Ronaldinho has been participating in a series of exhibition games, playing in four matches in the past three weeks.

In June, Ronaldinho signed with Italian Serie C club Ravenna at age 46, more than a decade after retiring.

The Ravenna club is run by Ignazio Cipriani of the Cipriani restaurant brand.

Ronaldinho played for elite football clubs such as Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan.

He last played professionally for Fluminense in 2015.

It marked his second spell in Italy after featuring for AC Milan from 2008 to 2011.

He won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and the Ballon d’Or in 2005.
