⚠️ CR7 gets offer from Brazilian club, reports Marca
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here. Cristiano Ronaldo has received a proposal to join a Brazilian club that will compete in the FIFA Club World Cup. Well, this is what journalist José Félix Díaz, from the Spanish newspaper Marca, published on Sunday (18), highlighting that the supposed hiring would involve "external investors". The player's staff received an important offer from a Brazilian team. What initially seemed like a market movement without much scope is becoming something that can be transformed into an out-of-market offer with significant contributions from external investors. Palmeiras, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Botafogo are the Brazilian clubs that will be in the new FIFA tournament, held in the United States, starting in June. According to the Marca report, the offer, considered "tempting", has put CR7 in a "dilemma". The offer is tempting and would open the doors to participate in the Club World Cup. Perfectly adapted to Saudi life, the time for decisions has arrived, and what was once a perfect scenario is no longer. And all because of the poor results [at Al-Nassr]. What was a perfect scenario, according to Marca, has to do with the change in the level of Saudi football, given the large investment made. However, after a season without titles, and without a spot in the next Asian Champions League, the renewal of the Portuguese star's contract, which ends in the middle of the year, with the Saudi club, is no longer a certainty. According to a report by Marca at the beginning of the year, CR7 would have received a renewal offer, with an annual salary of 183 million euros, to extend the bond until 2026. At the current exchange rate, the value would reach R$ 1.1 billion – more than R$ 3 million per day. This contract would make CR7 receive the highest salary in football history, but the title-less season made the agreement, previously considered well-advanced, "go up in the air". Marca emphasizes that Cristiano Ronaldo asked for reinforcements for this season, but only Duran was hired, something that disappointed the Portuguese star. At 40 years old, CR7 has played 46 games, scoring 39 goals for Al-Nassr this season, according to the ogol platform. Owner of five Golden Balls in his career – in 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017 –, Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time top scorer for Real Madrid, with 451 goals, including four Champions League titles. In his career, the star has 934 goals and is seeking his thousandth. 📸 Abdullah Ahmed - 2025 Getty Images

Why Real Madrid's move for Franco Mastantuono fell through
An insight into the reasoning behind La Liga giants Real Madrid calling time on their pursuit of Argentine sensation Franco Mastantuono has been forthcoming online. This comes amid confirmation of issues emerging during negotiations between the parties. The name of midfielder Mastantuono of course took its place front and centre in the media chatter across Spain at various points last year. This came as both Barcelona and Real Madrid, in particular the latter, were credited with a serious interest in the signature of the 17-year-old. Mastantuono, for his part, is widely regarded as one of the standout talents in all of South American football, considered a potential star in the making in his home country of Argentina. So, why exactly did Real Madrid's efforts to land the River Plate prodigy come up short? As alluded to above, this weekend, an insight into as much has been provided. As per Real Madrid insider José Félix Díaz, amid negotiations between the parties in 2024: 'There was a problem with his agents.'
