A mysterious LA Galaxy announcement has set the fans dreaming. Through a post in which they announce the arrival of a new signing for February 10, 2026, along with the image of a silhouette of a footballer, rumors have been flying, pointing mainly in two directions: Casemiro, the most likely, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Although, for obvious reasons, the name that resonates most strongly in the market is that of the Brazilian midfielder, the tense moment that the Portuguese star is experiencing with Al-Nassr feeds an illusion that does not stop growing.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his turbulent present in Saudi Arabia
Cristiano Ronaldo is going through an uncomfortable time in Saudi Arabian soccer. The Portuguese publicly showed his disagreement with internal decisions of the Saudi Pro League, especially after the signing of Karim Benzema by Al-Hilal, considering that there is no level playing field between the clubs.
This annoyance was reflected on the field as CR7 already has two consecutive absences as a form of protest and according to different media, the striker is seriously considering changing his destination, with two clear options: returning to Europe or starting a new stage in the MLS.
For Cristiano to arrive in the United States, there are several key factors: salary, security, residence and, above all, a competitive sporting project that aspires to titles and not just any team can meet that profile. The Galaxy has history, market, structure, ambition and a good squad, elements that fit with the demands of Cristiano Ronaldo. In addition, the Los Angeles franchise already knows what it is like to break the market with global figures, something that today plays in its favor against other clubs in the league.
Casemiro: the realistic option that also excites
While fans dream of CR7, the most concrete name is Casemiro. The Brazilian midfielder confirmed that he will not renew his contract with Manchester United and will leave the club at the end of the season.
Casemiro arrives in great form, backed by a remarkable soccer recovery under Michael Carrick, being a key player in the good end of the campaign for the Red Devils. His profile fits perfectly in MLS and in a Galaxy team that is looking to break the good run of Messi's Inter Miami.
Other options that have emerged in relation to the silhouette of the player and the current market are the possible arrival of Hirving 'Chucky' Lozano and Mateo Kovacic, the Manchester City midfielder. For now, we will have to wait until February 10 to find out which player the Los Angeles team will try to recover the prominence lost in MLS.
