Cristiano Ronaldo Reveals Plans to Play in the United States After Giving Donald Trump a Gift: Which Club Will He Join?

In a headline-grabbing twist that no one saw coming, Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed he is seriously considering a move to the United States — and the announcement came just moments after he presented a personal gift to former U.S. President Donald Trump during a high-profile private event in Miami.

The football world was already buzzing with speculation, but this unexpected gesture — and Ronaldo’s candid words afterward — have sent shockwaves through fans and analysts alike.

🇺🇸 The Gift That Sparked Global Buzz

At a closed-door gathering of international business leaders and political figures in Florida, Cristiano Ronaldo gifted Trump a signed Al Nassr jersey emblazoned with the number 7 and a golden inscription: “To Mr. President — With Respect, From CR7.”

According to multiple sources in attendance, Trump responded with a smile, calling Ronaldo “the greatest athlete on Earth” and jokingly asked, “When are you coming to America?”

Ronaldo’s reply? “Very soon.”

⚽ Ronaldo’s U.S. Move: Just a Rumor, or the Real Deal?

After the event, Ronaldo spoke briefly to a small circle of reporters and didn’t dodge the question.

“America is a beautiful country. My family enjoys spending time here. I won’t deny that football is growing fast in the U.S., and… yes, I’ve been thinking about it seriously,” he said.

“If I come, it won’t just be for marketing. I want to compete, lead, and keep pushing myself.”

He added cryptically, “There’s one club I’ve spoken to more than once.”

🧐 Which Club Is in the Lead?

While Ronaldo didn’t name the team outright, insiders believe the frontrunners are:

1. Inter Miami CF

Why it makes sense: Co-owned by David Beckham, the club already hosts global icon Lionel Messi. A Messi-Ronaldo reunion — or rivalry — in Major League Soccer would ignite worldwide attention.

Latest hint: Ronaldo reportedly had dinner with Beckham earlier this year during a visit to Los Angeles.

2. LA Galaxy

Why it makes sense: Ronaldo has long admired the “Hollywood” appeal of Los Angeles. The Galaxy have a history of big signings (Beckham, Ibrahimović) and could be looking for their next marquee name.

3. New York City FC

Why it makes sense: As part of the City Football Group, the club could offer financial power, global branding, and a direct line to Manchester City — a connection Ronaldo has not ruled out exploiting in the future.

🧨 What About Al Nassr?

Despite being under contract with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr until 2026, sources close to Ronaldo say there are exit clauses in his deal that would allow for a strategic move — especially if it’s tied to global brand expansion or personal ventures in the U.S.

🎙️ Ronaldo’s Vision Beyond Football

Ronaldo’s interest in the U.S. isn’t limited to football. His CR7 brand is already expanding across North America, and he’s reportedly been in discussions about launching a soccer academy and fitness franchise chain in Florida and California.

He’s also known to have property investments in New York and Miami — and is rumored to be eyeing a post-football media venture in partnership with a major streaming platform.

🇵🇹 A Final Shot at the World Stage?

If Ronaldo does make the jump to MLS, many believe it would be a strategic prelude to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted partly in the U.S. Sources close to the player say Ronaldo still wants to represent Portugal one last time at the tournament — and playing in the U.S. might give him the perfect stage and rhythm to prepare.

📢 Final Thoughts

Cristiano Ronaldo’s meeting with Donald Trump may have seemed like just another photo op — but it may have triggered the beginning of his final football chapter.

With a move to America now openly on the table, all eyes are on MLS owners, agents, and fans wondering:

Will the King conquer one more kingdom before he retires?

If he does, it could be the biggest moment in American soccer history.
