da betobet： GOAL takes a look at which players could end up making big moves to the U.S. this summer…
da winzada777： Summer is almost upon us, and with it comes a new flurry of MLS transfer talk. For years, MLS has been at the center of the always-moving rumor mill and, with Lionel Messi now running riot in the league, stars all over the world are being linked with a move to North America.
Messi has already brought his friends with him to Inter Miami, but they're far from the first stars to play in MLS. The U.S. has been drawing in some of the game's biggest names for years, although that's all intensified since the Argentinian icon stepped foot in Florida.
So, who will join Messi this summer? Which European stars are being linked with big MLS moves? And, most importantly, which of the league's clubs are in contention to make these dream deals a reality?
GOAL takes a look…
Watch Inter Miami with the MLS Season PassStream nowGettySergio Ramos
The Real Madrid legend has been linked to MLS several times in recent years, most notably to Inter Miami. It seems, though, that his next move may actually bring him to the league's newest club.
According to reports, Ramos is in talks to join San Diego FC ahead of the club's 2025 debut. Ramos is set to be a free agent this summer and isn't expected to renew with boyhood club Sevilla, opening the door for a possible MLS move.
How would he fare? Well, we haven't seen many, if any, defenders of Ramos' caliber come stateside. Even in his advancing years, the Spanish legend could almost certainly be a good building block for an expansion club.

Ramos isn't the only star linked to San Diego.
Mexican star Lozano is also rumored to be a target for San Diego ahead of the club's expansion season. The winger is currently at PSV, where he won the Eredivisie title this season alongside U.S. men's national team stars Sergino Dest, Ricardo Pepi and Malik Tillman.
Lozano, though, poured cold water on the rumor, telling ESPN Netherlands: “Well, I'd like to go to Liga MX. Pachuca gave me many things, it gave me the opportunity to be in the first division. If I return to Mexico, I think the first option would be Pachuca.”

It would be a surprising one, given how good the midfielder still is, but De Bruyne has long been linked with an MLS move.
Reports say the Manchester City star is seriously considering quitting the Etihad and apparently favours MLS over the Saudi Pro League. If he does move on, his international teammate, D.C. United star Christian Benteke, says the midfield maestro would be a perfect fit in Hollywood.
“He's 32 and he's been around in Europe for many, many years,” Benteke told MLSSoccer.com. “I can see him at a team in LA.”

He still has a potential fairytale ending on the horizon in the Champions League final, but Reus' next move may be to the U.S.
St. Louis City SC have been heavily linked with the Borussia Dortmund legend, who is set to leave his childhood club this summer. He'll hope to leave with a trophy in hand as Dortmund prepare to face Real Madrid in the Champions League final but, after that, St. Louis may be next.
Also interested in Reus? Inter Miami, although St. Louis seems the better fit for the German star.
