River Plate speaks out about possibility of signing Cristiano Ronaldo

Marcelo Gallardo, River Plate’s coach, addresses the transfer speculation surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of the 2025 Club World Cup.

Despite turning 40, the Portuguese superstar remains a sought-after player — with 10 to 11 teams ready to compete for his services.

Several clubs interested in signing Ronaldo:

• Monterrey and Pachuca from Mexico
• Botafogo, Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Fluminense from Brazil
• Wydad Casablanca from Morocco
• Al Ahly from Egypt
• Esperance de Tunis from Tunisia

At Monterrey, there’s an opportunity to reunite Ronaldo with his former Real Madrid teammate — Sergio Ramos.
