After two seasons full of goals but disappointing on a collective level with Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be turning the page.

"This chapter is over. The story? Still to be written", he wrote on Instagram after the last day of the Saudi championship.

At 40, CR7 does not plan to hang up his boots, and several doors are still open to him.

Here's an overview of the possible scenarios for the continuation of his legendary career.

1. Al-Hilal: the most serious option 👀

Al-Hilal, a major rival of Al-Nassr, appears to be the most credible option.

The club ticks all the boxes: financial power, sporting ambition (qualification for the Asian Champions League and the Club World Cup), and geographical stability.

Surrounded by stars like Mitrovic, Neves, or Bounou, he could aim once again for regional... and global heights.


2. Monterrey: the call of Mexico (and S. Ramos) 🤝

The Mexican club has recently entered the race. According to some local sources, Sergio Ramos, a close friend of Ronaldo at Real Madrid, has tried to convince him to join.

The Mexican club is participating in the Club World Cup this summer, which would allow CR7 to encounter a certain Lionel Messi.


3. Botafogo: a Brazilian option already fading? 🤔

The name Botafogo has circulated, but its owner, John Textor, quickly dismissed the rumors from the Brazilian press.

While Brazil remains an attractive football land and Botafogo will participate in the Club World Cup, the deal promises to be complicated, if not impossible financially.


4. Wydad Casablanca: the wildest rumor 🤩

Wydad Casablanca has also been mentioned, notably by the Spanish press (Marca).

The Moroccan club preferred to laugh about it on their social media.


5. A last surprise challenge 😲

Other exotic destinations, such as the MLS, Qatar, or even Turkey continue to emerge.

While no club has officially entered the race, Ronaldo's prestige remains an unmatched marketing asset for any league seeking visibility.

But time is running out: teams participating in the Club World Cup have until June 10 to register new players.


6. Al-Nassr, the choice of continuity? ✍️

A hypothesis not yet completely ruled out: staying at Al-Nassr.

Even if the Saudi club will not compete in major international competitions next year, it could attempt a final extension until 2026, promoting the stability and security of its project.
