Ronaldinho's Son Set to Be Burnley's 'Project' Signing.

Burnley manager Scott Parker acknowledges the excitement over the anticipated signing of Ronaldinho’s son, Joao Mendes. However, Parker emphasizes that Mendes will be a "development prospect" rather than a first-team regular.

Burnley is finalizing a deal for Joao Mendes, the 19-year-old son of Ronaldinho, who is set to leave Barcelona for Turf Moor on a likely two-year contract.

Burnley manager Scott Parker acknowledges the buzz surrounding Mendes due to his father's fame but stresses that Mendes will be treated as a "development player" and a long-term project.

Parker mentioned that while the paperwork is still pending, the move is definitely progressing. He advised against placing too much pressure on the young player, emphasizing the need for perspective as Mendes integrates into the team.
