We fact-checked and figured because, with this article, we delved into all there’s to know about this California-born professional football player, C. Roldan. Now, we looked into his early life, parents, siblings, education, relationship and marriage, and obviously, his career timeline; weekly salary, and net worth.
Intro to Cristian Roldan
Born Cristian Roldan on June 3, 1995, and currently 28 years old, Cristian is an American professional football player from California, who now plays the position of ‘midfielder’ for Major League Soccer club, ‘Seattle Sounders FC’ and for the United States national team.
He made his debut appearance with the Seattle Sounders’ first team in 2015 when he was 18 years old. In 2016, he became a starter, and tell you what, he won the MLS Cup in that same year — 2016. Meanwhile, he made his debut with the United States national team in 2017, winning the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Okay, here’s where the story started: Cristian Roldan was barely 9 years old when he was featured juggling a soccer ball in an Adidas commercial. Adidas, y’all! Well, he was selected from 110 kids who tried out for the commercial. So, clearly, he’s made for great things right from the onset. But that was in 2006. Anyway, we figured his football career began with him joining the Washington Huskies in 2013.
Now, during his time at Washington Huskies (he was with the club between 2013 and 2015), he was named the 2013 Gatorade Player of the Year. But then, he was a college student at the famed University of Washington, so it was only a good spot that he played for the university’s team, ‘Washington Huskies.’
While still studying and playing with the University of Washington’s team, he played NCAA Division I soccer for the University of Washington Huskies and won the renowned ‘Pac-12 title.’ Clearly, his years as a college student at the University of Washington were adventurous. At 28 years old, Cristian has graduated college and has since married and is now building a family with his wife, Ciana.
Now, his market transfer value is over €6 million, his annual salary, over $2 million, and his net worth is estimated to be at $4 million.
