Brazil international striker Adriano has signed for Rio de Janeiro-based club Flamengo.

The 27-year-old has been without a club since terminating his contract with Inter Milan in March.

The Italians broke off their agreement with the burly frontman after he failed to return from international duty.

Adriano said at the time that he was taking a break from football after growing disillusioned with the game.

However, he has been persuaded to make a quick-fire return at the club where he began his career in 2000.

He spent a year with Flamengo on that occasion before sealing a move to Europe.

He will be officially unveiled by his new employers on Thursday and will be hoping to make a similar impact upon his return to his homeland as his international colleague Ronaldo, who is enjoying a productive spell at Corinthians.
