In recent days, rumors have emerged from Europe suggesting that Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest figures in world football, could be heading to Major League Soccer (MLS). Currently playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo’s potential move to the U.S. has sparked interest among fans and analysts alike.

While Ronaldo has expressed contentment with his role in developing football in Saudi Arabia, sources close to the Portuguese star suggest he might be considering a new challenge. This speculation has only intensified amid whispers of interest from top MLS clubs.

MLS Teams Eyeing Ronaldo

Reports indicate that three MLS clubs—LA Galaxy, Los Angeles FC, and New York Red Bulls—possess the financial means to secure Ronaldo’s signature. However, no official confirmation has been made.

Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has fueled the rumors with his remarks on Ronaldo’s enduring prowess. “I’ve watched Ronaldo play recently, and he’s still performing at a high level, scoring goals, and looking fit for his age,” Brown stated. He added that Ronaldo would be an invaluable addition to American football, especially given Lionel Messi’s presence in the league.

“Tiene que ir a América,” Brown noted. “He wants to play as long as possible, and he’s a player who can choose his next destination.”

The Ronaldo-Messi Rivalry Revived?

If Ronaldo were to join MLS, it could set the stage for a revival of one of football’s most iconic rivalries. Messi, currently starring for Inter Miami, has already made waves in the league. A Ronaldo transfer would not only elevate MLS’s competitive level but also captivate global audiences with the possibility of head-to-head clashes between the two legends.

For over a decade, Ronaldo and Messi dominated European football, defining an era with their extraordinary achievements. Bringing that rivalry to the U.S. would mark a historic moment for MLS and the sport as a whole.

What’s Next for Ronaldo?

The summer 2025 transfer window will likely determine Ronaldo’s future. Should he join MLS, it would represent a landmark moment for American football and a golden opportunity for fans to witness, possibly for the last time, a direct competition between two of the greatest players in football history.
