Bye bye Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo's decision to join MLS and face Lionel Messi in USA

Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Al-Nassr in January 2023. It was news that shocked the world of football, since no one expected a star of his caliber to end up in such a lower level league. There is only one explanation: money. In Arabia they promise to change the history of the sport through their fortunes, and for now they are not doing badly at all.

The boom of the arrival of CR7 to the Arab lands opened a lot of offers to different players who worked in the European elite. Several have accepted as the case of Karim Benzema, Kanté, Brozovic, among other great stars. Like the Portuguese, it was Lionel Messi who followed in his footsteps, but this time to revolutionize another country like the United States without a soccer culture.

His recent arrival caused the rumors and the curiosity of wanting to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to the same league so that they compete again to wake up. So much so that there was talk of a possibility for Los Angeles FC, one of the most prominent teams in MLS. This Monday, at the end of a friendly between Al-Nassr and Celta de Vigo, the Portuguese revealed his answer.

Cristiano finally said it

A reporter decided to ask him if he would like to play in MLS like Lionel Messi. To which Cristiano was very blunt: "No, because in Arabia the championship is much better than that of the United States." In addition, he stood firm with the decision to stay to fulfill his contract in Arabia, which ends in June 2025.
