chance” he will play in Major League Soccer before the end
of his career.
The Portugal international has previously insisted he had no
interest in playing in the United States, but appears to have
had a change of heart.
Ronaldo told ITV back in November he wanted to retire "with
dignity" adding: "That does not mean it’s bad play in the
leagues of the United States, Qatar or Dubai, but I do not see
myself there."
A host of big names have chosen to finish their careers in
MLS in recent seasons including Didier Drogba, Steven
Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo and David Villa.
Ronaldo admits the standard of football has improved and
claimed it could tempt him to make the move when he finally
decides to leave the Bernabeu.
"Maybe in the future will be a good chance for me to play
there [in America]," he told GQ .
"You never know, but it’s something interesting. I consider
it, of course, because as I’ve said, soccer there has become
better and better... I think that this is maybe going to be
possible."
Ronaldo has been linked with an exit from the Bernabeu this
summer, with interest from Paris Saint-Germain thought to
be high.
However, it remains to be seen whether the 30-year-old will
be allowed to leave by los Blancos given their impending
transfer ban.
