TDuring his nearly two-decade career in professional football, Cristiano Ronaldo has demonstrated his extraordinary ability to adapt and shine in every league he has played in, regardless of their differences. But his journey to Saudi Arabia is perhaps not the last step in his extraordinary career.
Although it seemed that way, a series of statements from his former teammate Gary Neville has sparked speculation about a 'last dance' for the Portuguese star's career, in none other than MLS and the arguments are at least valid.
During his appearance on a sports show, the former Manchester United player said that MLS could be the “final chapter” of his legendary career, once his contract with Al-Nassr ends. “All that’s left is MLS, right?”Neville asked. But the question makes a lot of sense because of what it would mean to bring together the two most important legends of the current century of football in the same competition.
On this subject, Neville explained that Cristiano Ronaldo's next step would be to focus on “do what he does best” and there is no better place to do it than in a league full of glamor and star appeal, so all the speculation is more than logical to extend one's playing career and help shape football culture in this country, which went crazy with the arrival of Lionel Messi last summer.
What would MLS look like with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi together again?
MLS has become a haven for European stars nearing retirement and includes big names such as David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovicbut who contributed greatly to the development of the league. While for Cristiano, it would allow him to continue competing at the highest level.
Even if “El Bicho” remains reserved about his future after the Saudi Professional League, Markets like Los Angeles and New York, two of the most important cities in sports, seem ideal for a global legend like Cristiano: LA Galaxy, LAFC, NYCFC and the New York Red Bullshave the infrastructure, the market and, above all, the resources to sign it. While Cristiano would not just be another player in these cities, but the star of the city, as happened with Messi in Miami.
Plus, playing reissues of The Rivalry Cristiano vs. Messiwhile everything indicates that the Argentinian will be the new champion of the league, would give great attraction to these world matches, at the level of the Spanish Clasico.
Wherever the Portuguese star decides to continue playing, his arrival would be an exciting presence wherever he goes, as he is one of the greatest footballers of all time.
