A top club has emerged wanting to sign Cristiano Ronaldo to play in the Club World Cup.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States for the first time, is attracting global attention, and Cristiano Ronaldo is once again in the spotlight. According to multiple sources from Fichajes and the Middle East, Al Hilal – Asia’s most successful football team – is actively pursuing the Portuguese superstar with the ambition of making him the face of the upcoming global campaign.

Although still under contract with Al Nassr until mid-2025, Ronaldo is being targeted by Al Hilal as the perfect replacement for Neymar, who has just left the team due to persistent injuries. Al Hilal’s board of directors believes that with his top class and experience, CR7 will not only improve the squad but also contribute to affirming their dominant position in Asia and further on the world stage.

In fact, Al Hilal tried to sign Ronaldo in 2022, but legal barriers from the Center for Arbitration for Sport prevented the deal from happening. Now, with the door gradually opening, and Ronaldo still maintaining impressive form, having scored more than 20 goals this season at the age of 40, the possibility of a blockbuster contract is completely possible.

The prospect of Ronaldo in the blue of Al Hilal facing Real Madrid at the Club World Cup is exciting football fans. The presence of one of the greatest players in history will certainly add a lot of excitement to the tournament in the US, while affirming the seriousness of Arab clubs in the global football game.

Although there has been no official offer, sources close to the matter said that behind-the-scenes negotiations are ongoing and Al Hilal seem ready to do everything to bring Ronaldo to Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium, making him the brightest star in their ambitious sports project.
