Sao Paulo, Brazil (My Sportsbook) - Former three-time FIFA Player of the Year Ronaldo is set to join Brazil's Corinthians, the club announced on its website Tuesday.

Ronaldo, 32, suffered his third major knee injury in February and his future on the field was in doubt. But the striker, who scored 62 goals for Brazil, is set to resume his club career in his homeland where it started 15 years ago.

"In the next few hours, the two sides should provide the final formalities to close the deal and set a date for the presentation of the athlete," a statement on the club's website read.

Ronaldo started his club career with Brazil's Cruzeiro and later played at PSV in the Netherlands, Spain's Barcelona and Real Madrid, and Italy's Inter Milan and AC Milan.

He last played for AC Milan, where injuries limited him to just a few games. He was released by the club at the end of the 2007-08 season.

Ronaldo led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup, scoring eight goals in the event, and is the all-time leading scorer in the tournament with 15. He played for Brazil from 1994-2006, appearing in and scoring at least three goals in three Cups.
