Fluminense have terminated Ronaldinho's contract at the former two-time World Player of the Year's request, the club announced on Monday night.

The 35-year-old midfielder had been with the Rio de Janeiro club for little more than two months.

During his time with the club, the former World Cup and Champions League winner participated in just nine games, failing to score or record an assist in a disappointing spell that saw him often booed by Tricolor supporters for poor performances.

"Fluminense hereby announces the breaking of their contract with Ronaldinho Gaucho in an amicable form and in mutual agreement between both parties," the club's official statement read.

"Since first contract with directors, the athlete and his representatives treated the club with professionalism and respect.

"Fluminense and Ronaldinho will proceed with ties maintained and plans to work on other projects in the future."
