While rumors ignite on a possible transfer from Cristiano Ronaldo to Brazil, the sports director of Flamengo, José Boto, calmed everyone's heat. Asked about the possibility of recruiting the Portuguese star to compete in the Club World Cup, he replied without detour: ” The main objective is that it is a reinforcement for the rest of the season, and not only for the World Cup. Especially since the World Cup is a new competition, no one knows how the teams will react. Make an investment that could affect the rest of the season only because of the World Cup, on our sport, we do not see it with a good eye. »»
If Cristiano Ronaldo fueled speculation after having hinted on X that he could say goodbye to Al-Nassr, his arrival at the Flamengo seems unlikely, especially for financial reasons. The Portuguese has around 200 million euros per year in Saudi Arabia, an inaccessible amount for a Brazilian club. Reds and blacks are not the only Brazilian stable to turn their back on the fivefold Ballon d'Or, since AS announces that Palmeiras and Botafogo also do not see his signature as viable.
