Ronaldo s ultimate choice in his career: Five next players emerge
1:21pm, 23 May 2025【Football】
As the contract expiration date approaches on June 30, 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is facing the most critical turning point in his career. According to Tycsports, Riyadh Victory has suspended contract renewal negotiations with Portuguese superstars, and the embarrassing situation of failing to win this season has brought the relationship between the two sides to freezing point. From the Portuguese sports dream of the Champions League to the mysterious Brazilian offer, from the Turkish giants to the African Club World Cup powerhouses, a battle of scrambling people across three continents has officially begun.
Current Situation Analysis: The gains and losses of Saudi Arabia's journey
Joined Riyadh to win, although Ronaldo has scored 98 goals with a terrifying efficiency, he has not brought any trophy except the Allah Championship. What's even more fatal is that the team's poor record this season has not been qualified for the AFC Champions League next season, which has caused the club's senior management to shake its positioning of "building the team core". The original two-year contract renewal agreement was stranded due to competitive results. Saudi media "Middle East" revealed that the club is evaluating two plans:
Plan A: 100 million euros to sign up, and build a championship lineup around Ronaldo. Plan B: Break up peacefully, save 200 million euros per year to rebuild the five potential next players
1. Portuguese Sports (probability 35%)
- Core chips: parent team sentiment + Champions League qualification
- Obstacle: Only 1/10 of the existing salary (about 2 million euros annual salary)
- Secret weapon: If you return, you will receive a No. 7 jersey directly, and the club promises to introduce Portuguese internationals such as B seats
2. Brazil's mysterious club (probability 25%)
- According to Global Sports, a Brazilian giant has opened a "2-year 120 million euros + commercial share" contract
- This quotation contains special terms: If Ronaldo helps the team win the Liberators Cup, he will receive an additional Rio luxury house
- Potential candidates: Flamengo (qualified from the Club World Cup), Palmeiras
3. Besiktas (probability 20%)
- Solskjaer strongly recommends: reunion of master and apprentice + Turkish League Golden Boot Guaranteed
- Fatal injury: missed the Champions League, the Turkish Super League broadcasting share is only 1/5
- Variables: The club is negotiating with the Qatar consortium to inject funds
4. Botafogo (probability 15%)
- Fatal injury: missed the Champions League, the Turkish Super League broadcasting share is only 1/5
- Variables: The club is negotiating with the Qatar consortium to inject funds
4. Botafogo (probability 15%)
- American boss John Tuctor's "Superstar Strategy": willing to pay 30 million euro signing fee
- Unique advantage: 2025 expansion of the club cup seats in the future (Brazil has 2 seats)
- Risk point: Brazilian Alien defensive intensity (21 fouls per game) test against 40-year-old Ronaldo
5. Casablanca Vidard (probability 5%)
- Africa's only ambition: promise to provide private planes + customized training center
- Club World Cup stage: fight against Real Madrid, Manchester City and other powerful people in December
- Business Abacus: Leveraging Ronaldo to explore North Africa - European market
Champions League obsession and historical opportunities
If you choose Portuguese sports, Ronaldo will be expected to strive for three miracles:
First, the first player to win the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Saudi United and Portugal Super League
Second, the oldest goal scorer in the Champions League history
Third, the total career goals exceeded 1,000 mark
According to Forbes, if Ronaldo lands in Brazil or Africa, his annual commercial value will increase by another 30 million US dollars, but his competitive reputation may be damaged; staying behind Saudi Arabia can ensure an annual income of 200 million euros, but face the doubts of "pension league". Real Madrid legend Casillas analyzed on the podcast: "Cristiano's eyes tell me that he is still eager to prove that he can fight in the top stadium. Portuguese sports' Champions League qualification is the strongest temptation, but it requires both sides to make huge economic compromises. "
The opening day of the transfer window on July 1 may witness the most complex free transfer game in football history. From Lisbon to Rio, from Istanbul to Casablanca, Ronaldo's choice is not only about personal glory, but also redefines the value boundaries of "old superstars". As Marca said: "This summer, Ronaldo will not only fight against time, but also the perception of the entire football world. "
