Ronaldinho wants MLS move - agent

The Brazilian attacker looks set to leave Queretaro later this year, his brother and agent has said, saying that the USA could be a potential destination.

Ronaldinho's agent has dropped a huge hint that the Brazilian is keen to leave Queretaro for an MLS club this year.

The former Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan attacker signed a two-year contract with the Mexican team in September last year, but his agent and brother does not think he will still be at the club in 2016.

The 35-year-old has been linked with a move to either LA Galaxy or New York Red Bulls for years but Roberto de Assis Moreira has dropped the biggest suggestion yet he could be playing in the US soon.

“Ronaldinho will play for Queretaro until the middle of the year then we are going to look for another club,” he told reporters.

“MLS needs big players to increase the appeal of soccer to the American public. In sport anything can happen, although nobody has contacted me yet...”

Ronaldinho has struggled to cement a starring place in the Liga MX side's XI – with allegations he's shown up late to training reportedly affecting his chances – fuelling rumours he will be leaving at the next opportunity.

The departures of Tim Cahill and Thierry Henry have freed up designated player contracts at New York Red Bulls – whereas LA Galaxy just signed Steven Gerrard – making them favourites to lure the World Cup winner to the US.
