Reunião de Cristiano Ronaldo com clube da MLS é revelada enquanto participação acionária é discutida

Cristiano Ronaldo quase chegou a ingressar em um clube da MLS antes de se mudar para a Arábia Saudita, com uma possível participação acionária discutida como parte das negociações.

Ronaldo , 39, deixou o futebol europeu no início de 2023, ingressando no clube saudita Al Nassr em um contrato de três anos depois que o Manchester United concordou em rescindir seu contrato no Old Trafford.

No processo, ele se tornou o jogador mais bem pago do futebol mundial, com o astro português ganhando, segundo relatos, £ 177 milhões por ano com o time da Saudi Pro League.

E as coisas poderiam ter sido bem diferentes se ele tivesse aceitado uma oferta do Sporting Kansas City.

O técnico do Sporting KC, Peter Vermes, disse ao Kansas City Star que o clube teve várias reuniões com representantes seniores de Ronaldo antes de sua mudança para a Arábia Saudita e afirmou que as negociações “ganharam força”.

O Athletic relata que na época a MLS tinha um banco de dados interno de 50 jogadores que agregariam mais valor à liga se fossem recrutados, com Lionel Messi e Ronaldo colocados em primeiro e segundo lugar, e Kylian Mbappe em terceiro.

Segundo a reportagem, Messi ainda não havia se juntado ao Inter Miami quando o Sporting KC iniciou as negociações com Ronaldo.

O time da MLS foi considerado “sério” com sua abordagem e sugeriu “pacotes criativos que envolveriam cortes nas vendas internacionais de camisas e, potencialmente, uma participação na propriedade do clube”.

De acordo com o Kansas City Star, o quarterback do Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick – que tem participação no Sporting KC – estava preparado para explicar a Ronaldo como é viver como uma superestrela esportiva na cidade.

“O feedback foi positivo e uma reunião virou outra, com figuras importantes da equipe convencidas de que estavam entre os dois finalistas antes de Ronaldo optar pela Arábia Saudita”, acrescentou a reportagem.

A reportagem do Athletic afirma que uma mudança de Ronaldo para os Estados Unidos foi considerada improvável por vários executivos seniores de outros clubes devido a vários fatores.

Alega-se que houve uma “aceitação silenciosa” de que a transferência não aconteceria devido aos custos envolvidos na contratação do cinco vezes vencedor da Bola de Ouro, combinado com a “publicidade que cercou” as alegações de estupro feitas contra ele nos EUA.

A ex-modelo e professora Kathryn Mayorga alegou que o ex-jogador do Manchester United e do Real Madrid a estuprou em um hotel de Las Vegas em 2009.

Ronaldo sempre negou veementemente as acusações e nunca foi acusado.

Mayorga teria chegado a um acordo extrajudicial com Ronaldo em 2010, avaliado em US$ 375.000 (£ 304.000).

Em 2022, um juiz dos EUA rejeitou uma ação judicial contra Ronaldo movida por Mayorga, o que poderia ter aumentado o suposto pagamento em milhões de dólares.
