Ronaldo turned down a generous offer from the US, according to ESPN. Ronaldo’s representatives have met with MLS executives several times

Cristiano Ronaldo had a big shock when he signed for Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr. However, after signing the contract, it turns out that this was not his initial plan. He even had an interesting offer from the US.

The Portuguese star has had an unsuccessful six months. Both in life and sport. His interview with Piers Morgan, after which he agreed to terminate his contract with Manchester United, did not help matters.

Then the World Cup, where he started in the starting line-up, but didn’t make much of an impact and eventually dropped out. Moreover, Portugal finished in the quarter-finals, giving Cristiano Ronaldo plenty of time to consider his future.

According to Marca, he longed to return to Real Madrid, at whose club facilities he trained for several days. Otherwise, however, many clubs rejected him. Including Eintracht Frankfurt, to whom he was offered.

So he finally signed for the Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr, where he received an exceptional financial offer that no one could match.

However, a move to the United States was in play. Ronaldo’s arrival was widely sought by the American club Sporting Kansas City.

According to ESPN journalist Taylor Twellman, his representatives met several times with the club’s management to discuss the terms of the contract.

Several American teams were interested, but only the offer from Kansas City was close to the one he received from Saudi Arabia.
