2. Franck Ribery

Now this one could very much happen. Franck Ribery announced he will be leaving German giants Bayern Munich at the end of the European season after 12 trophy-filled years.

Ribery recently turned 36 and with no word on retirement, the Frenchman looks like he wants to continue his career, but, at his age, he may struggle to persuade a top European outfit to take him on, therefore making this is a serious potential acquisition for one lucky MLS team.

There are rumors of a trip to Asia for a big-money move to China, but surely, if the deal is right, one MLS outfit could get their hands on a man who still possesses remarkable abilities.
