New York City FC
Could we picture Romelu Lukaku playing in the Yankee Stadium at some point in his career? He wouldn’t be the first world-renowned player to doso, with the likes of Andrea Pirlo, David Villa, and Frank Lampard concluding his careers with the City Football Group side.
New York Red Bulls
On the other hand, Lukaku’s interest in playing in New York could see him following Thierry Henry‘s steps and playing for the Red Bull organization, which has been lacking a big-name player since the Frenchman hung up the boots and after Shaun Wright-Phillips left about four years ago.
LA Galaxy
The MLS winningest team has plenty of experience in landing world-class players to the league, with David Beckham‘s arrival leading the way for the rest of the famous stars that set foot in the US top division. Zlatan Ibrahimovic revitalized the club with an eagerly awaited arrival that preceded Chicharito Hernandez‘s signing, the latest well-known player to join the Galaxy.

LAFC
Given that Los Angeles is among Lukaku’s favorite options, LAFC could be in contention to sign him sometime in the future. They have already brought in a top player such as Carlos Vela and it worked out perfectly for both parties, so the Belgian striker may find here a secure destination.
Inter Miami
A team constantlylinked to some of the best players reaching the final stages of their careers; Inter Miami quickly became a fantastic option in the MLS . Gonzalo Higuaín and Blaise Matuidi became the first examples of big-name players joining this young organization, which probably will not stop pursuing the world’s most famous players to keep improving its squad and developing its brand.
