Lionel Messi has already departed Europe, having spent the most of his career with Barcelona. The renowned attacker has followed in the footsteps David Beckham, who left Europe for the MLS after joining the LA Galaxy from Real Madrid in 2007.
Beckham helped put the MLS on the map, and many big names followed suit in the United States. In the later phases of their careers, Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Wayne Rooney all moved to America.
