In the 32nd round of Saudi United, Riyadh won the team and tied with Breedy 1:1 at home, with two rounds left behind Riyadh New Moon, who ranked second, and will definitely miss the qualification for the AFC Champions League next season.

In addition, since Ronaldo joined, Riyadh's victory has not won a formal championship, indicating that the Portuguese superstar with an annual revenue of 200 million euros is likely to leave the team at the end of the season.

So where will Ronaldo's next stop be? The answer may surprise everyone. The current popularity actually shows the name of Riyadh's victorious enemy, Riyadh's Crescent.

According to Portuguese media maisfutebol, Saudi sovereign wealth fund is considering allowing Ronaldo to represent Riyadh Crescent to participate in the Club World Cup that will start in the United States in June.

This Saudi fund owns 75% of the shares of Cristiano, Victory, Jeddah Nationals and Jeddah United. For them, operating Ronaldo's transfer rival club is just an operation of "putting left pocket into right pocket".

Saudi believes that the newly reorganized Club World Cup has great attention. If Ronaldo can represent the Saudi team, it will bring huge promotion benefits to Saudi football brands.

This is in line with Saudi Arabia's positioning for "gold-yuan football". Since Saudi Arabia began to implement the superstar recruitment policy in 2023, the broadcast coverage of the Saudi League has soared from the original 22 countries to the current 170 countries. In Saudi Arabia's view, the Club World Cup is an important promotional way to take the brand to a higher level.

Saudi Arabia's idea coincides with FIFA. FIFA is fully promoting the first Reformed Club World Cup. They hope that Ronaldo, one of the world's top superstars, can appear on the stage of the first Reformed Club World Cup.

Currently, Miami International represented by Messi, Real Madrid represented by Mbappe, and Manchester City represented by Haaland will all play in the Club World Cup. FIFA naturally does not want Ronaldo to be absent.

Maca also revealed that FIFA recently contacted relevant Saudi Arabia to discuss the feasibility of Ronaldo's participation in the Club World Cup on behalf of Riyadh Crescent, and expressed his willingness to give a green light to the transfer and registration procedures to support this idea becoming a reality.

It is worth mentioning that Riyadh Crescent plays against Real Madrid in the first game of the Club World Cup. If Ronaldo can join this Saudi arch-rival team and then represent the team to play against his former team, the topic will probably be very explosive at that time.

Whether it is FIFA or Saudi Arabia, I believe that topics about them will be happy to see hot searches around the world. For Ronaldo, although it is a bit difficult to say that his face is acceptable, his income, AFC Champions League and his qualification to participate in the first Restructured Club World Cup can finally be preserved.
