Cristiano Ronaldo's current Al-Nassr deal expires at the end of the season and with no official announcement over his future there is doubt over whether he will extend his stay in the Saudi Pro League.
*Market refers to club on 14/06/2025
The Portguese superstar is just one goal short of a century for Al-Nassr but only has one trophy to show for his time in Saudi Arabia.
Wages would likely be the major stumbling block for a majority of moves elsewhere with Ronaldo topping Forbes Magazine's 10 Highest-Paid Athletes list for the third consecutive year but after a cryptic social media post, it seems Ronaldo is seeking a new chapter.
bet365's Sports and Trading expert Steve Freeth said: "There is a lot of guesswork regarding his club at the start of the Club World Cup.
"Monterrey topped our opening show with Sergio Ramos part of the setup, but they drifted out to 20/1 before a plunge on them back into joint-favouritism with Botafogo who were also 20/1 before reports of Ronaldo being in talks.
"We have also seen money for him to join Al Hilal in time for the Club World Cup, as well as for him to still remain an Al Nassr player come mid-June, as well as making a sensational return to Sporting in the coming weeks."
It's a prospect that would have been altogether different 10 years ago but you'd be in the minority of football fans if you weren't excited by the potential for Messi and Ronaldo to line up alongside each other.
With Messi already in Miami, the move would open up the opportunity for Ronaldo to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup that begins in June.
Aside from the football, it goes without saying the huge revenue streams that come with having two of the greatest ever to play the game signed for the same team.
A move to Mexico would mean the rekindling of an old relationship with Sergio Ramos.
The pair enjoyed an extremely successful time together at Real Madrid and reports have suggested that Ramos has been pushing for his current employers to make a move.
Monterrey kick-off their Club World Cup campaign in Orlando where they will face Champions League finalists Inter Milan on 18th June.
On the face of it, this seems very left field but Botafogo could give Ronaldo a chance to compete at the FIFA Club World Cup later this year.
Reports have suggested that the Brazilian club has presented a 'significant offer' to Ronaldo with current manager Renato Paiva addressing the rumours over the weekend.
He said: "Coaches want more and better players. Ronaldo, even at his age, is still a goal machine. And in a team that generates chance after chance, a finisher like him always helps.”
The impact of Ronaldo on the pitch would be a great help but his signing would also involve enormous off-the-field benefits for the American-owned outfit.
The chance to reignite the Messi v Ronaldo rivalry would be of extreme value to Major League Soccer.
It's a league littered with ageing stars and unlike a lot of other potential suitors, the MLS does have the capability to meet Ronaldo's wage demands.
Olivier Giroud is the club's current striker and with just three goals in 31 appearances, it's safe to say that he hasn't yet had the desired impact on the pitch.
