Cristiano Ronaldo is still making headlines, not for returning to Real Madrid, but for a new destination that's exciting his white-clad fans. The Portuguese forward has confirmed that he won't stay at Al-Nassr and his future is starting to take shape.
Rumors say that Cristiano will look for a team with real chances to play in the Club World Cup, which starts on June 15. His destination could once again be in Saudi Arabia, but not with Al-Nassr.
Al-Hilal, the Arab club that wants the star
Al-Hilal has shown clear interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. This team is already qualified for the Club World Cup and will, in fact, be Real Madrid's first opponent in the group stage.
According to Defensa Central, Al-Hilal wants to have the Portuguese star to strengthen their squad and make an even bigger impact in the tournament. The idea that Cristiano could face Real Madrid again, this time wearing a rival's jersey, has caused a lot of anticipation and some excitement.
Although he won't wear the white jersey anymore, playing in the Club World Cup excites the Merengue fans.
the Mexican league is also calling Cristiano
Saudi Arabia isn't the only option for Cristiano's immediate future. In Mexico, CF Monterrey has shown interest in signing him. According to W Deportes, the Mexican club has already contacted the Portuguese to try to convince him.
What makes this proposal special is that, if confirmed, Cristiano would reunite with Sergio Ramos, his former teammate at Real Madrid. This personal connection brings added excitement among Madridist fans, since both shared some of the club's best moments.
The fact that two Real Madrid legends could meet again on a field outside Europe sparks interest and hope among the fans.
what does this mean for Real Madrid?
Although Cristiano won't return to Real Madrid, his possible destinations generate mixed emotions among the fans. On one hand, there's sadness at not seeing the Portuguese at Bernabéu again. On the other, there's excitement that he could shine again and, very possibly, face his former team in a world tournament.
The reunion with Sergio Ramos in Monterrey is a nod to Real Madrid's recent history, where both were key to the club's successes.
Cristiano Ronaldo remains a magnet for world soccer, and although his white jersey is now behind him, his story continues to be written with strength and emotion.
