Ronaldo leaves Saudi Arabia: call to Miami from Beckham!
Cristiano Ronaldo hinted on his social media channels on Monday evening that he would be leaving Saudi Arabia. In a mysterious post, the superstar declared: “The chapter is closed.” This ends his two-year era at Al-Nassr, where he has been active since 2023. At the same time, there are rumors that the 40-year-old might not end his football career but might move to the MLS. A return to Sporting Lisbon or a move to a Brazilian club are also on the table.
In recent weeks, speculation surrounding Ronaldo's future has become increasingly intense. The focus is particularly on the upcoming Club World Cup, which will take place in the USA in the summer. Ronaldo is very interested in taking part, but Al-Nassr is not qualified for the tournament. FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed that discussions are ongoing with several clubs about Ronaldo's possible participation in the Club World Cup. A duel between Ronaldo and his eternal rival Lionel Messi could therefore become a reality, as Messi has qualified for the tournament with Inter Miami.
Ronaldo and Beckham
An interesting aspect of the transfer rumors is the involvement of David Beckham. The owner of Inter Miami plans to bring Ronaldo to Florida and tried to sign him last winter. Ronaldo could make his debut on June 15 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where he could face Al Ahly. There are even thoughts that Ronaldo and Messi could possibly play together on the team, which would be an absolute highlight for fans of both players.
Beckham sees Ronaldo as not only a talented player, but also a valuable brand for the MLS, which wants to further expand its international influence. The discussions are taking place both internally at Inter Miami and with Ronaldo personally. The final details of a possible transfer could therefore be clarified in the near future.
The challenges for Ronaldo
At the age of 40, Ronaldo is planning another career step despite his transition. An end to his career seems unlikely, especially with a view to the upcoming World Cup in North America, in which he would like to take part with Portugal. In his final years in professional football, the former world footballer would like to once again show what he can do at the highest level and maybe even break a few records along the way.
Clarifying his future will remain exciting over the next few weeks as he has to weigh up both sporting and commercial options. Ronaldo is at a crucial point in his career as the football world eagerly awaits the next steps.
