Gultekin Genker said that the 35-year-old Brazilian forward's arrival is imminent after terms were agreed - and promised that the newly-promoted club, who signed Eto'o last week after his departure from Sampdoria, have not finished in the transfer market.
"We reached an agreement with Ronaldinho," he told TRT Spor. "I think within two days it'll be made official.
"Besides Eto'o and Ronaldinho, we will make another big-name signing. When it's done, we'll set the world on fire!"
Ronaldinho appeared to confirm his intention to join Antalyaspor, who were promoted to Turkey's Super Lig last season, in an Instagram video in which he said: "Hi to everyone. I will be in Turkey with you soon."
The former Ballon d'Or winner's last club was the Mexican side Queretaro, with whom he spent nine months before departing earlier in June.
