  • Ronaldinho was said to have demanded that Flamengo agree that he can visit nightclubs at least twice in a week in his deal
  • After leaving AC Milan, the sensational dribbler returned to his native country and he was known to love the nightlife while in Italy
  • It was gathered that Ronaldinho inserted a clause in his contract with Flamengo that would allow him to continue with his lifestyle

Brazilian legend Ronaldinho demanded that Flamengo agreed to a ‘nightclub clause’ in a bid for him to sign a contract with them, Daily Mail reports.

After a largely successful stint with the Italian side AC Milan, the dribble icon returned to his native country and he was known to love the nightlife while in Europe.

The former Barcelona star wanted the same lifestyle at the Brazilian club and had to make an important request in his deal with the club.

SPORTbible claims that Ronaldinho emphasised a clause that would allow him to club at least two nights in a week and the club agreed.

Ronaldinho, 42, was heavily criticised following his choice of lifestyle even though he was one of the finest players to ever play the game.

In 2017, Paolo, a staunch AC Milan fan who was a season ticket holder told Bleacher Report that Ronaldinho only cared about partying.

He said:

"Win, lose, play well, play badly -- Ronaldinho didn't care. He would still find a party and enjoy himself long into the night," he said.
"We loved him at Milan, but he hurt himself and his career, never worried who saw him."

Also, Arsenal player Alexander Hleb claimed that Ronaldinho and Deco would turn up to Barcelona training drunk and it forced the club to sell the pair to 'protect' Lionel Messi.

The former Belarus international said.

"Ronaldinho and Deco came to training drunk. That's why Ronaldinho and Deco were sold in 2008. Because they were afraid that they would bring down Lionel Messi.
"Ronaldinho didn't train any day of the week and would just turn up on a Friday for the game on Saturday."

Ronaldinho hits music studio

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that two-time World Player of the Year, Ronaldinho has expressed his love for music after hitting the studios to compose some songs.

The former Barcelona and AC Milan star also met some American hip hop stars and could not hide his joy at seeing them.

The Brazilian legend took to Instagram to post photos of his meeting with Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Mary J. Blige.
