“‘It’s going to happen, I have already said so. But it’s going to be a bit later, in the play-offs,” said the 38-year-old.
Ronaldo became a major shareholder in the Strikers that play in the North American Soccer League, the tier directly below the MLS, though there is no promotion or relegation between the two divisions. Teams hoping to make the top level of the American game have to be elected.
The delay between this development and Ronaldo’s potential debut is likely to be down to the former Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan striker needing to get into shape.
