5 Most probable destinations for Franck Ribery

#1 United States

A former international teammate, Patrick Vieira, could again join forces with Ribery

Major League Soccer is no longer a retirement home for famous players, but clubs across the league now show keen interest in bringing across older European stars if the opportunity presents itself and the conditions are right.

Ribery’s former Bayern Munich teammate Bastian Schweinsteiger turns out for Chicago Fire, while they are currently 10 French players plying their trade in the MLS. Youri Djorkaeff and Thierry Henry both ended their careers in the United States.

There are plenty of possible destinations for Ribery, but there are a few that particularly stand out.

New York always has a pull and the New York Red Bulls as well as the New York City team could thus be tempting options for the 34-year-old. The latter is coached by Ribery’s former French international teammate, Patrick Vieira.

The inclination of Ribery towards the French-speaking city of Montreal, home to team Montreal Impact, is obvious.

The 2018 expansion team, Los Angeles FC, may also be keen to secure a star name.
