Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t won the silverware he might have expected over in Saudi Arabia, but he’s been true to his word of attracting more top names and growing the league.
Now though, his future at Al Nassr – and in the Saudi Pro League – is far from nailed on. Here we review what could be next with a look at the Cristiano Ronaldo next club odds.
The latest transfer betting odds for Cristiano Ronaldo's next club are listed below. Odds stated were correct at the time of writing.
Compare the latest summer transfer odds for the clubs likely to be vying for Cristiano Ronaldo's signature during the window.
One of the big pulls of 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is the marketing power he gives to any club he signs for. For the player though, he wants to be more than just a shirt salesman, which could be a significant factor in why a move prior to the Club World Cup hasn’t developed.
The veteran’s desire for gametime isn’t just an ego thing either. Portugal have a World Cup campaign coming next summer and CR7 will want to ensure he’s as ready as possible to lead his nation over in the US. Of course, it is undeniable that he’s in the twilight of his career though and, with that in mind, Ronaldo’s next club odds offer up a range of options.
Leading the Ronaldo next club odds is any Portuguese club. It’s probably not a huge surprise either really. Ronaldo, who was born in Madeira, is hugely passionate about his homeland and started his playing career there. He came through the ranks at Sporting making his senior bow in 2002 prior to joining Man United.
As his career winds down, a celebratory stint back in Portugal is something that could well happen. If that does play out, Sporting is probably as likely a destination in the Primeira Liga as any. Right now though, we’re not sure it’s something that either party would be looking to line up. That probably rules out any other Portuguese club at this time as well.

A couple of Brazilian clubs have been heavily linked with moves for Ronaldo and whilst a lot of that was framed in the context of the Club World Cup, it’s not impossible that interest remains. Ronaldo is an exceptional talent, speaks the language and would join a growing number of big names plying their trade in Brazil’s Serie A.
The other South American option that has real legs as a potential is a move to Argentina. River Plate are said to have sounded him out recently and, away from the pitch, Ronaldo’s kind words about Argentina, where his girlfriend was born, won’t have fallen on deaf ears either.

As is becoming a bit of a theme here, Mexican clubs were heavily mentioned in connection with Ronaldo ahead of the Club World Cup. With the tournament only a matter of days away, that isn’t going to happen. With that window having come and, probably, gone it is hard to imagine any scenario where Ronaldo ends up in Liga MX.

Another route for Ronaldo to feature in the Club World Cup would have been for him to join Al Nassr’s Saudi Pro League rivals Al Hilal. It was mentioned as a possibility and could well rumble on as a potential deal for a little longer too.
Aleksander Mitrovic currently leads the line for them but has been linked with a move back to European football. Should that unfold then Al Hilal will want to bring in a new frontman and, unlike a lot of teams, won’t need to bring in a high-pressing forward.
Combine that with the fact that they also have Ronaldo’s compatriots Ruben Neves and Joao Cancelo in their ranks and you can see how the dots connect.
