Talking of the A-League, Brazilian legend Romario is linked with a move to Adelaide United.
Quote:
Adelaide United has expressed an interest in signing Brazilian legend Romario for a four-week guest stint.
Reds coach John Kosmina said the club has had 'preliminary talks with him or with his agency' about the veteran World Cup winner spending a month down under.
The diminutive striker (168cm) was one of the world's most recognised players in the 1980s and early 1990s, playing 70 matches for Brazil.
He was part of the team which won gold at the 1988 Olympics and also a member of the successful 1994 World Cup campaign, scoring five goals to be named the player of the tournament.
He was named FIFA World Player of the Year in 1994 after a brilliant season for Barcelona. He also played club football in Europe for Dutch club PSV Eindhoven and Spanish club Valencia.
Kosmina said the 40-year-old would provide plenty of inspiration for players, supporters and coaches alike.
"The guy is a world champion, he's one of the biggest names in world football," Kosmina said.
"Alright, he's getting a bit long in the tooth but it would be an honour for me to work with him and an honour for the players to play with him."
