Mercato: Cristiano Ronaldo had another side negotiation with another club besides Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo has already found his next destination to make a success of his end of career, even if it is not as he would have wanted. And if the comments are going well on the subject, the Portuguese could have chosen not to join El Nassr, to head to another destination.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the new star of Al-Nassr. Even better, the Portuguese has already posed with a shirt of the Saudi club after the announcement of his transfer. And if everyone thought that the team coached by Rudi Garcia seemed to be the only option left for the 37-year-old player after leaving Manchester United, this is not the case. Since an alternative difficult to reject in view of the economic conditions had also presented itself.

Indeed, according to ESPN, Al Nassr was not the only proposal on the table for the Portuguese star. Cristiano Ronaldo could end up playing his final years as a professional footballer in the United States. Journalist Taylor Twellman reported that “several MLS teams have inquired about Cristiano Ronaldo and his future, but one team was already on the table – Sporting Kansas City. The team belonging to the Western Conference of the North American championship wanted to beat the offer of Al Nassr and take Cristiano as a free agent.

However, the current leader of the Saudi league managed to sign CR7 until 2025. As also reported by ESPN, Cristiano Ronaldo’s entourage “had several meetings” with the North American club. The proposal of Sporting Kansas City (salary/commercial) was “very close” to the expectations of the Portuguese star, it adds.

And finally, journalist Fabrizio Romano also reports that one of the meetings held between the American club and Cristiano’s negotiating team took place “before the interview with Piers Morgan”, which led to his sudden departure from the Manchester club. In the end, Saudi Arabia seduced the glossy star more than the United States and Al Nassr fans will be able to enjoy CR7’s last steps on the pitch for the next two years.
