Megan Rapinoe says she is open to any and all offers after rumors linking the U.S. national team to Barcelona and Real Madrid recently spread like "wildfire".

Rumors linking the World Cup winner with a move to Spain began when Rapinoe spoke of her admiration for Barcelona, calling the club "number one in my heart" while admitting that she would be open to finishing her illustrious career in Spain.
