SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Ronaldinho could be headed to Palmeiras, and the Brazilian club is hoping to make the deal official on Tuesday as part of its centennial celebrations. The 34-year-old Ronaldinho has been without a club since leaving Atletico Mineiro in July, and talks are under way for him to sign with Palmeiras for the remainder of the Brazilian league season. The two-time FIFA world player of the year has hinted he may join a Major League Soccer team in 2015, but until then his goal is to keep playing in Brazil. Palmeiras, the Brazilian club with the most national titles, is celebrating its 100th anniversary on Tuesday. This is the third time that Palmeiras has been negotiating to sign Ronaldinho since the player returned to Brazil in 2011 after a successful career in Europe at clubs such as Barcelona and AC Milan. Ronaldinho ended up joining Flamengo after his return, and a year later moved to Atletico Mineiro, which he led to its first Copa Libertadores title in 2013. That same year, Ronaldinho also helped the club win the traditional Minas Gerais state championship and the Recopa Sudamericana. He scored 28 goals in nearly 90 matches with the club. Ronaldinho didnt clearly explain why he decided to end his stint with Atletico Mineiro. Local media said he was expected to join a club either in Asia or in the Arab world, but no deal was reached. Ronaldinhos brother and agent, Roberto Assis, reportedly offered him to several Brazilian clubs in recent weeks, including Corinthians, Santos, Gremio and Fluminense, but all negotiations failed. There were also rumours that the player would join Besiktas in Turkey and Boca Juniors in Argentina. Ronaldinho reportedly didnt accept Palmeiras initial offer -- the club recently installed a salary cap to contain costs -- but the club said that negotiations have advanced and a deal was close. Ronaldinho would wear the No. 100 in reference to the teams centennial. The fourth most-popular club in Brazil, Palmeiras has won 10 national titles -- eight Brazilian championships and two Brazilian Cups, the last in 2012 with coach Luiz Felipe Scolari. Palmeiras is considered the first Brazilian team to win a club world title, in 1951. It was the only team able to rival Santos in the 1960s, and its squad represented Brazil in a friendly against Uruguay in 1965. Palmeiras was demoted to the second division in 2002 and 2012. It is near relegation zone again this year after struggling since taking a chance on Argentine coach Ricardo Gareca in May, but it won its first league match under his command on Saturday. The team is led by former World Cup champion Lucio and Chilean playmaker Jorge Valdivia. Gareca has brought in several Argentine players since taking over the team, including defender Fernando Tobio and forwards Jonathan Cristaldo, Agustin Allione and Pablo Mouche. Palmeiras is expected to inaugurate its new 45,000-capacity arena in Sao Paulo in the next few weeks, when Ronaldinho could be an important attraction. Ronaldinho was Brazils starter in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, but was left out of the tournament in 2010 and 2014. Stitched Soccer Jerseys . A day after FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke said three stadiums would not be ready in time for the Dec. 31 deadline, Brazilian officials said they actually plan to deliver all six remaining venues after that date. They claim only three are delayed, with the other three being handed over after the expected date only because of problems accommodating the schedule of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, who wants to be present for the ceremonies.

CATHARINES, Ont. - Curtis Lazar is leaving the Ottawa Senators to play for Canada at the world junior championship, a decision those involved consider a win-win.The 19-year-old Lazar gets the experience of playing against the best junior players in the world, Canada gets a polished top-six forward and the Senators hope to benefit down the road from the development their top prospect gets from his second of these tournaments.Hes going to play a more prominent role, Senators coach Dave Cameron said. With us hes in the bottom six, playing a safe role. There hes going to be a go-to guy. Thats a real world-class tournament on a huge stage, so all those factors are going to make him a better player.Lazar was Ottawas fourth-line centre averaging 12:45 a game, second-lowest on the team ahead of only Chris Neil. Wednesday night at the New Jersey Devils, Lazar skated 15 shifts for 8:30, his lowest totals of his rookie season.Hockey Canada had discussions with the Senators this week about getting Lazar, but the organization didnt find out until Thursday morning that hed be joining the world junior team. Understandably, those in charge of the team are thrilled to add Lazar to a group already favoured to win gold on home ice.He is a big piece of the puzzle, said Scott Salmond, Hockey Canadas vice-president of hockey operations. He will come in here, hopefully with a lot of confidence and a lot of experience of having been here last year. We expect him to be a leader, and we expect he is going to give our group a boost.Lazar called it bittersweet leaving the Senators in the middle of the season, especially considering the upheaval lately with the firing of Paul MacLean and the hiring of Cameron as coach. But he relishes the idea of becoming that go-to-guy at the world juniors.The Ottawa Senators, Im happy to be here, I love to be here and I feel Im going to have a long, healthy career here with them, said Lazar, who has a goal and six assists this season. Two weeks its not going to make that much of a difference.Having Lazar could make a huge difference for Canada, which already had six returning players: goaltender Zach Fucale, defenceman Josh Morrissey and forwards Sam Reinhart, Connor McDavid, Nic Petan and Frederik Gauthier. Lazar could slide in on Canadas second line on one of McDavids wings, something he said would be a lot of fun.Salmond said it was up to coach Benoit Groulx whether Lazar would play wing, as he did in 2014, or line up at centre.I see him, imagine him, playing a lot, Salmond said.Thats part of the reason Cameron, who has a history of coaching with Hockey Canada, supported letting Lazar go. Ultimately, the decision rested with Senators general manager Bryan Murray, but he got input from Lazar and Cameron along the way.Lazars teammates saw last year what he can bring to a tournament like this when he was a point-a-game performer.Curtis brings everything, really, Morrissey said. He is an all-around player, he brings a lot to our team on the ice with his skills and ability, but off the ice he brings tremendous leadership. He is a hard-working, honest guy.Before he even skates with this group, Lazarr becomes a top candidate along with Reinhart to be named captain.dddddddddddd At the very least, the Salmon Arm, B.C., native will be part of Canadas leadership group because hes constantly smiling and can lighten the mood.He always brings down the pressure, McDavid said. Hes obviously going to be a huge leader, if not the biggest leader on this team.Groulx, an assistant last year in Malmo, Sweden, has only good things to say about Lazar on and off the ice.Hes well-liked by his teammates, respected by his teammates, Groulx said. Hes won everywhere. Hes a competitor, everybody acknowledges that. Hes such a great young man. I think hell fit right in with our guys.The downside of Lazars addition will be felt by the one extra player who has spent the week at Canadas camp at Meridian Centre in St. Catharines but wont be starting the tournament with the rest of the group Dec. 26 in Montreal. Now three forwards will need to get cut, along with a defenceman, to get down to the 22-man roster.Thats part of the process, Groulx said. Having Curtis back, obviously I think it puts a smile on everybodys face on this team. Yeah, its going to make our decision tougher, but I think its good for our team to have him back.Five forwards appear to be on the bubble of making the team: Gauthier, Michael Dal Colle, Jason Dickinson, Rourke Chartier and 17-year-old Lawson Crouse. Though Gauthier is a returning player, the Toronto Maple Leafs prospect doesnt consider his spot safe.I think I need to earn it, Gauthier said. I dont think I got it right now.Dickinson, who centred the fifth line this week, understands he has to show his value Friday night in Canadas exhibition game against Russia at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. He isnt worried about the Lazar news affecting him mentally.It is one of those things that happens in hockey, Dickinson said. There are going to be guys out there and take your spot, and you just have to battle through it.Theres little doubt that Canada is a better team with Lazar than without. Hes the second full-time NHL player to join after the New York Rangers released Anthony Duclair to play.It obviously makes us a lot deeper, McDavid said of adding Lazar. Theres so many good players throughout this country at this age. Obviously hes one of the best. Hes going to help all around.Lazar will meet up with the team in Toronto but wont play in Fridays exhibition game. Hes hoping to put on a show for the Sens fans Sunday when Canada plays Sweden in an exhibition game at Canadian Tire Centre.Obviously the long-term goal is the games that matter and Lazar trying to help Canada win its first world junior gold medal since 2009.Were on home soil here and the expectation is for us to win gold, Lazar said. My junior resume, its pretty complete except for a medal at the world juniors. Its a big opportunity here and I like the team that they have in place so far and Im going to go and contribute and hopefully I can check that one off the list.With files from Lisa Wallace in Ottawa---Follow @SWhyno on TwitterNote to readers: This is a corrected story.
