First Published: Feb 24, 2001

PSG will have to wait to see new signing Ronaldinho after he went into talks to join Vasco da Gama.

The former Gremio striker will play in Brazil until July to satisfy a court ruling obtained by he Porte Alegre club to prevent him leaving them and joining PSG this month. Ronaldinho's contract with Gremio ended on February 15th but they claimed new transfer rules in Brazil prevented the move to France from going through.

Flamengo and Corinthians are also keen to sign Ronaldinho for six months but Vasco can offer him the chance to play with top scorer Romario. In July he will start a new career in Europe with PSG.
