The Brazilian legend was close to arrive to the U.S. league but finally didn’t for this reason.

Ronaldinho had an incredible professional career, being one of the best players from his country in history. The offensive midfielder had an incredible talent and a great capacity that took him to shine on teams such as FC Barcelona, AC Milan or Brazil national team.

But after so many years he was very near to arrive to the MLS. It was in his last period as a professional player. He was leaving Brazil for the second time on his career and many teams tried to sign him. At the MLS there were many sides interested on him, but the legend himself denied that possibility.


As it was known recently, Ronaldinho preferred not to arrive to the MSL and move to Liga MX. He left Atlético Mineiro on September 2014 and arrived to Querétaro FC for free. It was the time in which the MLS was very near to have him, the Dinho preferred to live in Mexico rather than in the United States.

At the end, he played just a year in the Mexican team and left to Fluminense. On September 2015 he quitted the Brazilian side and some years later he announced his retirement. Ronaldinho player for Gremio, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Milan, Flamengo, Atlético Mineiro, Querétaro and Fluminense, but was very near to do so on the MLS.
