Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo wants to end his footballing career in the USA, according to reports.
The 30-year-old Portugal captain still has three years remaining on his deal at the Santiago Bernabeu, but is believed to be eying a move to the MLS when his contract is up, says Sports Illustrated.
US football is undergoing somewhat of a growth period right now, with the likes of David Beckham and Thierry Henry opting to end their playing days there with LA Galaxy and New York Redbulls respectively. Former Spain forward David Villa is currently with New York City and is set to be joined by Frank Lampard in the summer, while Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard will move Stateside ate the end of season.
According to the sports magazine, Ronaldo would be keen on a move to a major US city such as LA, New York or Miami.
Ronaldo is expected to see out his deal at Los Blancos, despite reports he is unhappy at the club and with how fickle the fans are at times. Some reports in the UK press have suggested that former club Manchester United are also keen to take him back to the Premier League with Sir Alex Ferguson working behind the scenes to bring his former protege back to Old Trafford.
