Before the change of Al Nassr: The MLS club wanted to sign Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo could have ended up elsewhere before signing with Al-Nassr. The Portuguese was probably in concrete talks with Kansas City.

As journalist Taylor Twellman reported via Twitter, several MLS teams immediately asked Cristiano Ronaldo. And with Kansas City, there also had to be a club that would take it seriously. Because apparently ‹CR7› already had a contract with Kansas City. Eventually, he decided to move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

Multiple @MLS the teams asked for information about Ronaldo and his future but 1 team was already at the table: @SportingKC
Their offer was so convincing that Ronaldo’s team had multiple meetings with SKC before accepting the Saudi deal. The package (wages/trade) was said to be “very close”. #MLS
