It is well known that MLS has been constantly improving in the last decades, and many soccer stars like Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Didier Drogba have gone through the experience of American soccer. And this star from FC Barcelona, after so many years of playing for them, wants to expand that list.

In an Instagram story, he answered a question from a fan about where would he like to retire as a player, and he mentioned MLS as he loves the American sports culture and the league is getting better and better.

After conquering multiple Spanish leagues and the UEFA Champions League among other trophies, Sergi Roberto wants to play in America. It would be good for his family given his wife, Coral Simanovich, is from New York. Her roots would be a factor to help the midfielder to make a decision.

This side of Sergi Roberto loving American sports is not new. Three years ago, he attended a Yankees game on July 4th with his wife during a preseason that Barcelona had in America. Also, he is a NBA follower and even tweeted that he is a fan of Steph Curry.
