It is very special for me to be the first Designated Player in LAFC history.
I am both honored and blessed to have had such a wonderful career with the L.A. Galaxy and I am thankful for everything the club, the fans and the community has done for me and my family.
My dream is to play in the MLS maybe, because I love the lifestyle in America. Doesn't matter - New York, L.A. - I want the big city.
You're seeing more players come back to MLS in their prime and the homegrown talent coming up that's of high quality. I think that game's always continuing to grow, and I'm happy to be part of that growth and come back to the league.
One day, I hope I can play in MLS.
Now in the U.S.A., a lot of great players come after their careers in Europe, like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo, great players.
I see myself going to play in the MLS, to discover something other than France.
He is not someone who went off to play in Europe and only a few Americans follow. He has the potential to be on magazine covers and more newspaper coverage.
San Antonio is an ideal market for Major League Soccer. It's time that we put our best foot forward.
I never had any doubts. I wanted MLS. I'd followed it on TV, and I liked it. And being able to play in New York did the rest. I don't know if I would have accepted an offer from any other city.
I'll watch an MLS game if it's on.
I have always wanted to come and play in MLS so it’s the perfect combination for me and a dream come true.
When I was back in Italy my friends ask me about MLS. I say I am happy, I like it here.
I played three seasons when I was in MLS before I went to Europe, and every year, I was able to be selected for the All-Star, which was an honor.
If I'm destined to play in the MLS, I will.
In North America, many fans know Cristiano Ronaldo's smirk and can recognize Didier Drogba in a commercial. Maybe they know too much for the good of M.L.S.
When I went to Seattle, it was quite a quiet town and we made it the biggest soccer following in America. We didn't have the paparazzi, though, and I needed that at the time.
It's no secret that I think that MLS is a top five, top six league in the world but they're not the top league.
I've been watching all the games I can from MLS on television.
I think MLS is as important as any of the national leagues.
When people say 'American soccer,' they think of the U.S. national team. But American soccer also includes Major League Soccer, and until we have a league that produces players at the rate other leagues around the world do, I don't believe we'll ever get to where we want to be.
The MLS Cup is always the goal. If we don't win that, it's always a disappointment and we haven't won. No matter how well you do in the regular season, it's always seen as a failure.
If it fits in with my career, it will be a challenge for me to play for a MLS team. If that would be Steven Gerrard's club, that would be very special.
A move to MLS - you never know. New York or Los Angeles, you never know.
Of course Seattle loves soccer. You can see from the men's Seattle Sounders team.
