Both Galaxy and Fener have been in contact with Ronaldo's agents about life beyond the Rossoneri, with Ronaldo leaning towards the prospect of joining former Real Madrid teammate David Beckham in Los Angeles where the MLS's schedule is less taxing.

"Ronie, join me in Istanbul," said Roberto Carlos. "At Fenerbahce, you will be covered in gold."
