The negotiations would focus on an immediate transfer, or deferred it to the early 2015 , where the MLS starts.

In the north American Championship, each club can only have three stars whose wages exceeded the maximum tolerated by the League , the Red Bulls already has two stars , the French Thierry Henry and the Australian Tim Cahill , therefore, the arrival of Ronaldinho shouldn't be a problem.

Especially as it would be desired by the French, captain of the team and who would have himself called his former teammate from Barcelona (2007-2008) to ask him to join the "Big Apple". but the big question is: would Henry reform his duo with Ronaldinho ? or is he looking for his successor ?because after five years in New York, Henry's contract expires in a few months.

Whatever the possible date of his arrival, the 2005 Ballon D'or winner had already being courted by the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2010 and 2011 , if the 34 years old player joined the MLS , he would be a heavy weighted ambassador of "soccer" , thanks to the beautiful American campaign in the World Cup , Football is becoming more and more widely publicised in Uncle Sam's country.

This is only the beginning ... with Kaka in Orlando City, David Villa and Frank Lampard at the New York City FC and perhaps Ronaldinho to the Red Bulls, the Major League Soccer would have never recruited many great names.
