The big leap. In Mexico, it is taken for granted that Raul Ruidiaz is going to Major League Soccer (MLS). What's more, they have revealed the staggering amount that Seattle Sounders would have already paid Monarcas Morelia to take 'La Pulga' (The Flea) there, a whopping eight million dollars. In addition, the forward would become one of the highest-paid players in the North American tournament.
According to information from ESPN, which has been able to learn from a source at 'La Monarquía', the Mexican club tried to sell him to the most important teams in Liga MX during the last Draft, but did not receive any concrete response for the Peruvian forward, who is currently in Russia to play the World Cup with the Peruvian National Team.
According to the aforementioned media outlet, Ruidiaz's contract with the 'Rave Green' would be for four years and, as already announced, he will be one of the franchise players in United States soccer.
Seattle Sounders is coached by Brian Schmetzer and has players like the American Clint Dempsey and the Uruguayan Nicolas Lodeiro among its main figures.
