Cristiano Ronaldo, a member of Al Nasr, is still popular even at the age of twilight as a soccer player.
"River Plate attempted to recruit Ronaldo ahead of the Club World Cup this summer," soccer media "All Football" reported on the 8th (Korea time) by borrowing the Argentine media "Olle."
Recently, it has been repeated that Ronaldo will leave the team. This is because no specific news regarding the renewal of his contract with Al Nasr is expected to expire at the end of June.
On March 27, he posted a message on his social network service (SNS) saying, "This chapter is over. I am still writing stories. Thank you to everyone," sparking rumors of his transfer. Even FIFA President Gianni Infantino raised a significant story that suggested Ronaldo could play in the Club World Cup, fueling curiosity.
Since then, reports have continued that clubs that mainly participate in Club World Cups want Ronaldo. Various destinations were mentioned, including La Casablanca (Morocco), Monterrey (Mexico), Botafogu (Brazil), Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia), and LA FC (USA). 스포츠토토
However, Ronaldo said in a press conference a day before the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League final between Portugal and Spain on the 9th, "I don't go to the Club World Cup despite many offers and offers from various clubs."
"According to our coverage, River Plate clearly tried to recruit Ronaldo," Ole said after the press conference, explaining why they sent a love call to the veteran striker.
Ronaldo's physical condition and tactical grounds were cited as two main points. "Ronaldo's recruitment can provide an elaborate finish to the club preparing for the World Cup from a tactical point of view," the media said. "He was very aggressive in Saudi Arabia's professional league and outstanding in the Portuguese national team, fulfilling his duties as No. 9.
He also evaluated, "The 40-year-old Ronaldo will no longer be able to perform the high-intensity pressure required by Marcelo Gallardo, but his presence alone can threaten defenders. His aerial control, jumping power, threatening making ability in the box, and instantaneous penetration ability are still unrivalled."
The relationship between Gallardo and Ronaldo was also highlighted. Gallardo faced off against Ronaldo several times when he was coach of the ALT Hard, and even coached the latter in 2023 friendly matches. At the time, Gallardo led the Riyadh All-Star team to face off against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
However, he hesitated over whether he could meet Ronaldo's financial demands, which are worth a whopping £173 million (about 318.7 billion won) in Al Nasr, and was reportedly not willing to transfer to River Plate.
