The New York Cosmos are back, and it is very possible that they will be slated to be the 20th MLS franchise. As it is very unlikely that a New York team will not have a single star, look for the Cosmos to sign an aging star in Europe to be what Thierry Henry is for the Red Bulls and David Beckham is for the Galaxy. Listed is the 5 most likely European Stars that the Cosmos will buy.
5. Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Ibra has expressed his desire to go to MLS when he ages, so when he gets up there, it is very likely that only a New York team will be able to afford his mega contract.
4. Raul Gonzalez - The Spaniard was linked to the Red Bulls last year before they signed Thierry Henry. Maybe he will be linked to another New York team once his Schalke days are over.
3. Kaka - A bit of a longshot here, but maybe Pele will be able to convince his fellow Brazilian to join the Cosmos if Kaka decides to play into his thirties.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo - Also a long shot here, but Ronaldo has virtualy copied every single club David Beckham has been too, so a big market MLS club would be next for Ronaldo once he gets older. Ronaldo is also renown to love the states, so it might not be such a longshot after all.
1. Didier Drogba - Drogba's representatives have stated that an MLS move is possible, and with Drogba falling farther out from Chelsea every day now, it only makes sense that he will be the Cosmos number one target should they become a team.
