6️⃣ scenarios for CR7's uncertain future 🔮
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇫🇷 here. After two seasons full of goals but disappointing on a collective level with Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be turning the page. Advertisement "This chapter is over. The story? Still to be written", he wrote on Instagram after the last day of the Saudi championship. At 40, CR7 does not plan to hang up his boots, and several doors are still open to him. Here's an overview of the possible scenarios for the continuation of his legendary career. 1. Al-Hilal: the most serious option 👀 Al-Hilal, a major rival of Al-Nassr, appears to be the most credible option. The club ticks all the boxes: financial power, sporting ambition (qualification for the Asian Champions League and the Club World Cup), and geographical stability. Surrounded by stars like Mitrovic, Neves, or Bounou, he could aim once again for regional... and global heights. 2. Monterrey: the call of Mexico (and S. Ramos) 🤝 The Mexican club has recently entered the race. According to some local sources, Sergio Ramos, a close friend of Ronaldo at Real Madrid, has tried to convince him to join. Advertisement The Mexican club is participating in the Club World Cup this summer, which would allow CR7 to encounter a certain Lionel Messi. 3. Botafogo: a Brazilian option already fading? 🤔 The name Botafogo has circulated, but its owner, John Textor, quickly dismissed the rumors from the Brazilian press. While Brazil remains an attractive football land and Botafogo will participate in the Club World Cup, the deal promises to be complicated, if not impossible financially. 4. Wydad Casablanca: the wildest rumor 🤩 Wydad Casablanca has also been mentioned, notably by the Spanish press (Marca). The Moroccan club preferred to laugh about it on their social media. 5. A last surprise challenge 😲 Other exotic destinations, such as the MLS, Qatar, or even Turkey continue to emerge. Advertisement While no club has officially entered the race, Ronaldo's prestige remains an unmatched marketing asset for any league seeking visibility. But time is running out: teams participating in the Club World Cup have until June 10 to register new players. 6. Al-Nassr, the choice of continuity? ✍️ A hypothesis not yet completely ruled out: staying at Al-Nassr. Even if the Saudi club will not compete in major international competitions next year, it could attempt a final extension until 2026, promoting the stability and security of its project. 🔎 Also read: - This club finishes the season unbeaten... but misses the title - OL: Rayan Cherki transferred to a European giant? - New number for Mbappé at Real Madrid 📸 Abdullah Ahmed - 2025 Getty Images

😳 'This chapter is over', posts CR7 after Al-Nassr disappointment This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. At 40 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo has left doubts about his stay at Al-Nassr after his current team was effectively eliminated from the next Asian Champions League. Advertisement "This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all", wrote the Portuguese number 7 after the defeat to Al-Fateh on Monday (26). Reversal and... FRUSTRATION Al-Nassr would only play to fulfill the schedule in the last round of the Saudi League. But returned to the fight before the final round after the Disciplinary Committee of the league penalized Al-Orobah for the irregular lineup of goalkeeper Rafi Al Ruawaili in the 2-1 victory over Al-Nassr in the 23rd round. The decision resulted in the early relegation of Al-Orobah, which lost the three points and saw them transferred to CR7 & Co. Advertisement Al-Nassr needed a win over Al-Fateh and hoped for a slip-up by Al-Hilal against Al-Qadisiya. Beyond not doing their part, they saw Mitrovic and Milinkovic-Savic secure the 2-0 win over the team of Aubameyang who only thinks about the King's Cup decision against Al-Ittihad. Al-Ittihad, who was already the champion, closed the Saudi Pro League with 83 points. The second spot for the Champions League went to Al-Hilal, who was the runner-up with 75. CR7, Mané, and Bento's team scored 70. There would be three spots for the Champions League via Saudi Arabia, but one went to Al-Ahli, who won this year's edition and finished the league in fifth place. Will he stay at Al-Nassr? Cristiano Ronaldo has a contract only until June 30. Advertisement The renewal was already seen as almost certain, but has become a doubt in several newspapers. The certainty is that Fifa wants to have the star in the Club World Cup. The president of the entity spoke about a possible negotiation involving the Portuguese star. Many goals and... a single trophy Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Al-Nassr in January 2023 after a turbulent passage to Manchester United. He has 99 goals and 19 assists in 111 games. He celebrated a single title: the Arab Champions Cup, which has less weight, still in 2023. He was the top scorer in the last edition of the Saudi League - the first complete one he played - with 35 goals. Advertisement And won the same position in 2024/2025, scoring 25 times.

🤯 Cristiano Ronaldo is Fifa's dream for Club World Cup, here's why
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. FIFA would have Cristiano Ronaldo as a "trump card" to boost the ticket sales of the Super Club World Cup, which already features Lionel Messi. The situation of the Portuguese star at Al-Nassr is closely monitored by the entity, which would like to have CR7 playing for a team that will compete in the tournament starting on June 14 in the United States. This is highlighted by the investigation of Ryan Mitchell, from Marca. Al-Nassr has been collecting frustrations in recent weeks. This is what gives such "hope" to FIFA. The defeat to Benzema's Al-Ittihad last Wednesday (7) left the team 11 points behind the rival - who is the leader - with 12 points left to play for in the Saudi League. 📸 FAYEZ NURELDINE - AFP or licensors A result that came after the surprising fall in the Asian Champions semi-finals to Japan's Kawasaki Frontale - who would be runner-up to Firmino's Al-Ahli. The risk of ending the season without a spot in the next Asian Champions is real, something that could change the renewal plans. At this moment, Al-Nassr is the fourth place in the Saudi Pro League with 60 points. Al-Ittihad (71), Al-Hilal (65) and Al-Ahli (61) are taking the three spots. There is also Aubameyang's Al-Qadsiah in the competition (59). See the complete classification and remaining games here. At 40 years old, CR7 had very advanced talks to extend his contract for two more seasons - until June 2027. The current one will end on June 30. Something that is no longer seen as something "lined up", as highlighted by As last week. Al-Nassr's 2024/2025 also had a runner-up in the Saudi Super Cup and a fall in the round of 16 of the Saudi King's Cup. Remember that FIFA has created a window for signings for the World Cup. Which will open on June 1 and goes until the 10th of the same month. Will we have Robozão and Messi competing in the same tournament? 📸 Yasser Bakhsh - 2025 Getty Images
