Earlier last week, FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed that Ronaldo is in talks with a club involved in the Club World Cup. The tournament is to begin on June 14 in the United States.
Ronaldo’s journey with the club helped them to win one trophy – the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023. In 76 league matches, he scored 73 goals for the club. The Portugal player signed the contract with the Saudi club after the reunion with his former team, Manchester United, didn’t go as planned.
There have been rumours regarding him joining a Brazilian side ahead of the Club World Cup. Palmeiras, Flamengo, Fluminense and Botafogo are the four sides from the nation in the expanded 32-team event. If the contract is signed with Palmeiras, the football fans will be able to witness the clash of titans, as Lionel Messi’s club Inter Miami will play against the Brazilian side in Group A matches.

However, his prime time in his career came when he joined Real Madrid, winning two league titles and four UEFA Champions League titles. Moreover, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has represented Portugal in the last five World Cups and scored a record 128 goals for the country.
