A rumor that set fire to the 2025 summer transfer window. For several days, social networks have been igniting around a possible transfer from Cristiano Ronaldo to an African club! Unheard of for a legend of this caliber. And this crazy speculation seems to be based on concrete elements, according to the Spanish press.
Wydad, Ronaldo… and a Spanish intermediary
According to the revelations of the daily Marca, the negotiations between Cristiano Ronaldo and the Wydad of Casablanca go through a Spanish businessman enjoying a privileged link with the two parties. Motivation? Participating in the Club World Cup this summer in the United States, a competition in which Al-Nassr, current CR7 club, is not qualified. The Wydad will face Manchester City, Al Ain and Juventus.
At 40, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to surprise. Always efficient, still selected with Portugal, it could take advantage of this widely exposed format of the Club World Cup to sign a last prestigious challenge. The Wydad would offer him a world scene … and a last dance against Lionel Messi, announced in group A with Inter Miami. The Moroccan club even had fun teaser a Portuguese flag on its social networks, even if it could also be linked to a friendly match against Porto.
Cristiano Ronaldo to Wydad? The rumor that panics Morocco
A credible deal despite the doubts
Ronaldo's contract with Al-Nassr expires on June 30 and discussions for an extension are dead. While his club will not play the Asian Champions League or the World Cup, the Wydad opportunity is gaining credibility. Even if the idea may seem improbable, it meets the sporting, financial and media criteria that CR7 is looking for today.
FIFA itself hopes Ronaldo's presence to boost the visibility of the tournament. Whether he joins Casablanca or not, the impact of this rumor is already enormous. What if the fivefold Ballon d'Or really crossed the Mediterranean? Morocco in dreams. Cristiano, he keeps silence … for now.
