Ronaldo’s move to the Saudi Pro League was initially viewed as the final chapter of his career, but at 39, the Portugal star continues to perform at a high level, leading to speculation that he might pursue another club.

Since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over Wrexham, the Welsh club has made an ambitious rise through the English football ranks, gaining global recognition. The Hollywood duo is eager to expand the club’s brand, and former France defender William Gallas believes signing Ronaldo could be a major boost.

“Anything can happen in football today, and it wouldn’t surprise me. Money speaks volumes, and we’ve seen that almost anything is possible now,” Gallas told Prime Casino. “Young players are moving to Saudi Arabia now, something they would have never considered before.”

“Footballers and clubs are now just as focused on their brands and sponsors. Players can earn a lot beyond their club wages. Social media has become key, with millions of followers making a huge impact. Both Wrexham and Cristiano Ronaldo have massive profiles, so why not?”

“Ronaldo is more than just a footballer; he’s a brand, and he’s still scoring goals. Many clubs would still be eager to have him.”

Wrexham, after their 4-2 win over Wolves Under-21s in the EFL Trophy, will face Rotherham on October 19. Meanwhile, Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will play the day before against Al-Shabab.
