Question is what's priority for him at this point, improving on his legacy further or getting his 30M salary no matter what, even if he has to play below his level. He can still play at the highest level, but he chose the wrong club for that. If I was him I'd take a paycut and go play for Madrid again. Then in a few years go to Sporting. Maybe to MLS a season before 2026 WC and that's it
