That is according to who revealed the Samba star is plotting a new venture next year.
According to one of his tweets, he says: "Sao Paulo informally consulted Ronaldinho Gaucho for 2017. The player's staff replied that he'll play in the MLS next year."
However Hernan gives no hints as to which club Ronaldinho could join.
The 36-year-old has been winding down on his illustrious career and recently had spells at Atletico Mineiro, Queretaro and most recently Fluminense.
But he hasn't played a game since September after his contract was terminated after failing to impress.
One of football’s greatest entertainers, Ronaldinho made the move to Europe in 2001 from Gremio, where he had progressed through the rank from a young age.
He arrived at Barcelona in 2003 and was an immediate success, winning two La Liga titles and a Champions League during his time at the Bernabeu.
