He played with Messi, rejected Cristiano Ronaldo in Juventus and could finally be the star of MLS

Having played with Lionel Messi or having been a possible Juventus reinforcement to accompany Cristiano Ronaldo up front can be two of the best things that happen to a footballer. This happened to one of the stars of Europe who would have refused to play with Cristiano Ronaldo in Juventus to reach the MLS, more specifically FC Cincinnati.

Atalanta was one of the revelation teams in Europe last season as they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, eliminating great teams but losing to PSG. One of the stars of that team was Alejandro “Papu” Gomez, who after a fight with his coach is looking for a new team.

Although everything indicated that he would go to Juventus and play with Cristiano Ronaldo, in the last few hours a strong rumor has emerged that Alejandro Gomez, Lionel Messi's teammate at FC Barcelona, could reach MLS for next season. It is very important to MLS that a player of Gomez's level arrives.

Going to MLS can be counterproductive for Alejandro Gomez because if he wants to continue having opportunities in the Argentine national team he must compete at the highest possible level and FC Cincinnati does not seem to be the ideal place for that. In spite of everything, Gomez already fulfilled almost all his wishes since he himself admitted that meeting Cristiano Ronaldo and having played with Messi were two things to fulfill in his life.
