There are some of the biggest names in football on this list.
Ronaldinho, Querataro
The Brazilian whizz is currently plying his trade in Mexico with Queretaro. However, this apparently might not last much longer according to reports in Mexico. Los Angeles Galaxy could be the team to take him on, with them needing someone to replace the retired Landon Donovan.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid
The Portuguese may be one of the best players in the world at the moment, but he is apparently interested in moving to America when his time at Real Madrid.
At least that is according to his agent Jorge Mendes, “He will finish his career at Real Madrid, and after that, perhaps he will go to the United States,” he told Telefoot.
Wesley Sneijder, Galatasaray
American TV broadcasters NBC have linked the Dutchman to the MLS, and apparently he isn’t entirely closed to the idea. Toronto FC is the team he could go to, with Jermain Defoe played for Canadian side last season.
Michael Essien, AC Milan
The midfielder is currently at the Serie A club, but he could be interested in a swansong in the US. At least according to some reports in Italy he is. The Ghanaian would be quite a coup for a MLS side.
Andrea Pirlo, Juventus
The Italy international is another who has been linked to LA Galaxy, however the move may not happen as the American club want to force a transfer in January.
ESPN are who has found this out. With the midfielder still capable on the biggest stage it would be a shame if he were to leave Europe.
