Cristiano Ronaldo has captivated fans around the globe, creating a legacy in four of the world’s top leagues. From his record-breaking days in England to his success in Spain, Italy, and now Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has shown an extraordinary ability to adapt, excel, and score no matter where he plays. But new comments from former teammate Gary Neville have sparked new speculation about Ronaldo‘s next move, and one rumor speculates that the legend will retire in the United States.

Speaking on a sports program, Neville-who has witnessed Ronaldo evolve from a promising talent into a global icon, said the MLS could be the “final chapter“ of Ronaldo‘s storied career. He believes when Ronaldo‘s contract with Saudi club Al Nassr runs out, a move to the States would be well within the realm of possibilities. “All that is left is the MLS, right? “ Neville asked while building up on the excitement of Ronaldo making it sparkle in America.

Neville also pointed out that Cristiano Ronaldo’s next move would concentrate on ‘doing what he does best,’ and, indeed, there is no better place to do just that than in a league that thrives on glamor and star appeal. According to him, as Ronaldo comes to the end of his career, he might be eager to show his great talents in the vibrant environment of Major League Soccer. Thus, in the United States, he can prolong his playing career and help shape the soccer culture.

The idea of Cristiano Ronaldo making an impact in America has captured the public’s imagination, and as his Saudi contract comes to a close, these speculations could soon become a reality.

Could the MLS be Cristiano Ronaldo’s next playground?

As Ronaldo‘s career heads toward what could very well be its final chapter, the attractions of MLS as his next home increase. MLS has become a haven for retired European stars, wherein big players like David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimović have joined and made meaningful contributions to American soccer. A move to MLS would expose Cristiano Ronaldo to a new market while allowing him to stay involved and compete at the highest level.

While Ronaldo hasn’t been too forthcoming about his future after Al Nassr, quotes from Neville mention some exciting prospects. Los Angeles and New York are two of the world’s largest media markets, and that is where Ronaldo would be a fabulous fit. Brands like LA Galaxy and LAFC, then NYCFC and New York Red Bulls, have the infrastructure, fan engagement, and resources he’d need. He would not be just another playing member in such cities; he would be a star.

The American League will give Ronaldo a chance to help shape the U.S. soccer landscape, which is continually improving in quality and popularity. It would be another reunion with familiar faces because stars like Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets have already started making waves in the league and enhancing MLS appeal. The rivalry and camaraderie that Ronaldo shared with the likes of Messi could be recreated here.

Given the rumors and Neville talking about the situation, maybe this whole Cristiano Ronaldo to the U.S. thing isn’t such an impossibility after all. Whether it is New York or Los Angeles or whatever across America, one is sure that Cristiano Ronaldo will be a thrilling presence wherever he goes, cementing his position among the all-time greats in soccer once again.
