Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly received a "tempting" offer to join a Brazilian club that would enable him to participate in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, according to Spanish publication Marca.

The tournament is scheduled to take place in the United States from June 15 to July 13, with four Brazilian clubs – Fluminense, Flamengo, Botafogo, and Palmeiras – set to participate. However, the specific Brazilian club making the offer to Ronaldo has not been disclosed.

The 40-year-old Portuguese star, who joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr in 2023 after leaving Manchester United, was reportedly close to signing a contract extension with the Saudi Pro League side just a few months ago. However, this new "important and major" proposal from Brazil could potentially change his plans.

Ronaldo's time at Al-Nassr has been marked by disappointment this season, with the club failing to secure any trophies and missing out on qualification for the Asian Champions League. These setbacks may be influencing the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to consider new opportunities.

The potential move would give Ronaldo a chance to add another prestigious tournament to his illustrious career, having never participated in the FIFA Club World Cup with a South American team. Throughout his career, Ronaldo has won multiple Champions League titles with Manchester United and Real Madrid, but this would represent a new challenge for the football icon.

Reports suggest that Ronaldo has paused contract talks with Al-Nassr as he considers this Brazilian offer, indicating that his future at the Saudi club is now uncertain.

Football fans worldwide will be watching closely to see if one of the sport's greatest players decides to make this unexpected move to Brazilian football in the twilight of his career.
