Cristiano Ronaldo was reportedly 'very close' to signing for MLS outfit Sporting Kansas City before he decided to proceed with a lucrative switch to Saudi Arabian outfit Al Nassr.
Speculation has been rife over Ronaldo's future since it was confirmed earlier this month that he had parted company with Manchester United by mutual consent. The 37-year-old, who only returned to Old Trafford around 18 months ago, failed to secure a move away last summer and was expected to depart in the January transfer window.
Ronaldo had been heavily linked with a move to Al Nassr for months prior to Friday night, when it was confirmed that a deal had been fully agreed. However, it has now been revealed that the Saudi Arabian outfit were not the only team courting the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
