Cristiano Ronaldo has received an offer 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 signing would involve "external investors".
The player's staff received an important offer from a Brazilian team. What, at first, seemed like a market move without much relevance, is consolidating into something that can become an offer outside the market standards, with important contributions from external investors.
Palmeiras, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Botafogo are the Brazilian clubs that will be in the new FIFA tournament, which will be held in the United States, starting in June.
According to Marca's 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 everything because of the bad 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 Marca report at the beginning of the year, CR7 would have received a renewal offer, with an annual salary of 183 million euros, to extend the contract 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 season without titles made the agreement, previously considered well-advanced, "go up in the air".
Marca highlights that Cristiano Ronaldo asked for reinforcements for this season, but only Duran was signed, something that disappointed the Portuguese star.
At 40 years old, CR7 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 of Real Madrid, with 451 goals, with four Champions League titles.
In his career, the star has 934 goals and is in search of his 1000th.
