The American team L.A. Galaxy announced its intentions to buy the Brazilian legend Ronaldinho. The team hopes to be able to win the title by having two of the greatest footballers ever, Beckham and Ronaldinho, together in one squad. American soccer will certainly benefit from such a transfer, but it is doubtful whether this will help Ronaldinho's career. It is a common practice for great footballers to go to clubs in the U.S. or in the Middle East when their career starts to fade. Hristo Stoichkov, Gilberto Silva, and Guti are just several examples of that trend. If Ronaldinho has the ambition to leave a greater trace in the history of soccer than he has already done, he has to remain in Europe and continue to play world-class football. A possible transfer to America would mean a decisive step to retirement, and he will almost surely lose his chance to compete on top level again. His possible future colleague David Beckham has been one of the few to return to Euope after an "exile" in the U.S. (he played for AC Milan for a season).
