More and more international players are choosing Major League Soccer (MLS) as an attractive destination to continue their careers. Over the past few years, we have witnessed renowned figures, like Leo Messi, change continents to shine in American soccer.
Messi's arrival at Inter Miami marks the beginning of a new era for the league, which continues to attract great talents. Now, the next big signing could be Antoine Griezmann, who is considering joining the MLS.
The Messi Phenomenon and the Arrival of More Stars
Leo Messi's incorporation into Inter Miami was not just a media sensation but also a symbol of the evolution of soccer in the United States. Upon his arrival, Messi joined other stars like Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who also continued their careers in the MLS.
This phenomenon is not a passing trend but a growing one. More and more players see the MLS as an opportunity to continue competing at the highest level while enjoying a new challenge in a growing market.
Griezmann, the Next to Arrive in Los Angeles
One of the next big names that could cross the Atlantic to join the MLS is French forward Antoine Griezmann. At 34 years old, the Atlético de Madrid striker continues to show his quality in the Spanish league, but his future seems to be moving away from the Metropolitano. In recent seasons, Griezmann has shown a growing interest in playing in the United States, and the option of the MLS seems increasingly real.
Although Inter Miami has been an option for Griezmann, everything points to his destination being Los Angeles. Specifically, there is talk of LAFC (Los Angeles Football Club), a club that has already featured figures like Gareth Bale.
The Californian team has been one of the MLS's powerhouses, and Griezmann's arrival could further strengthen their status.
Another Footballer Who Could Change Course
Another name that could join the MLS in the coming months is Thomas Müller. The German attacking midfielder has confirmed his departure from Bayern, ending more than 20 years at the club.
Although he hasn't revealed his destination yet, everything points to the MLS as his next home. Los Angeles FC is rumored to be Müller's destination, as he seeks new challenges in the MLS after his time at Bayern.
