Cristiano Ronaldo Set to Join Al Hilal Ahead of Club’s World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly on the brink of joining Saudi giants Al Hilal, according to former Al-Batin president Nasser Al-Huwaidi. Al-Huwaidi revealed that the Portuguese star is close to leaving Al Nassr for their fierce rivals, with an official announcement expected soon. If finalized, the move would see Ronaldo feature in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
Ronaldo’s current contract with Al Nassr runs out in June, and the 40-year-old is set to become a free agent. This would allow him to sign a short-term deal with any club, just in time for the Club World Cup. Over the past few weeks, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward has been linked with several teams, including Wydad Casablanca, Palmeiras, Botafogo, and Al Hilal. But Al Hilal now seems to be in pole position to land him.
Speaking with Kooora, Al-Huwaidi said Ronaldo’s arrival would give the Club World Cup a major boost and attract a massive audience. He also hinted that Al Hilal is planning to bring in three more big international signings to strengthen their squad. “Ronaldo is still performing at a higher level than Mitrovic,” he said. “I believe Al Hilal fans will be excited about his arrival, especially if he helps the club lift more trophies.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović speaks on the FIFA World Cup and states which African team countries should watch out for.
During a recent interview, the former player shared that Ivory Coast should be one of the teams to look out for.
“They can be dangerous. It is a very good team. They lost against Germany, but that game could have been a draw or even a win.
“So, it’s not like they came out of the group with one loss because of a bad game against Germany. They played a good game against Germany and could easily have gotten a point against them.”
