Trouble is brewing once again in the Middle East, but not for political reasons. Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo's refusal to play for Al Nassr recently has lit the fuse of rumors about the star searching for a new club. While contrasting reports about the player are making rounds on social media, it will be interesting if a Cristiano Ronaldo transfer takes place.

If Al Nassr lets the highest wage earners in the SPL walk, fans will wonder: what are the potential landing spots for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner beyond Saudi Arabia? Still wondering where he might go? Worry no more!! We at Sportsdunia will be providing you with a clearer picture of Cristiano Ronaldo's potential landing spots.

Which 5 Teams Can Be Cristiano Ronaldo New Club?

The former European champion is linked with a move back to his home country of Portugal or even to play in the United States of America. While many teams will remain keen on signing the 5-time Champions League winner, these five teams will arguably be at the top of his list. As the transfer rumours heat up, let's shift our focus to potential landing spots for the former Man United legend, where he could land after Al Nassr:

Real Madrid (Spain)

A dream landing spot for Ronaldo will be a chance to wear the iconic Los Blancos jersey one last time. The Madridistas will be celebrating in the streets if the Spanish giants can seal a move for one of the club's greatest players. Current players in the squad, like Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Junior, will be thirsting for an opportunity to learn from the La Liga icon.

Manchester United (England)

A third stint in Manchester, donning the iconic No.7 jersey in front of the Stretford End? A deal for Ronaldo will rekindle the faith in INEOS for the Old Trafford faithful and allow Man United to give one of its beloved players a perfect send-off. While a deal is unlikely, given the change in the club's transfer philosophy in recent years, the scenario of a return to the red side of Manchester is an eye-catching proposition.

Los Angeles Galaxy (United States)

One of the most viable spots for Ronaldo could be in the Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy. A club that has recruited iconic names like David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the past, signing the Portuguese star will not be a huge surprise.

Inter Miami (United States)

However, the most lucrative and headline-grabbing move for Cristiano Ronaldo will be joining Lionel Messi and Inter Miami. The David Beckham-owned club has attracted some of the biggest footballing stars like Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba in recent years. A team-up of two of the greatest players to ever lace up in the game will be box-office for football lovers in the United States of America.

Sporting CP (Portugal)

The most realistic move for the Al Nassr star will be a homecoming to Sporting CP, where it all started for Ronaldo. Apart from the emotional angle, the transfer will be a full-circle moment for his professional career ahead of his final bow at the FIFA World Cup 2026. While the move will remain a pipedream for the Portuguese club, it will be interesting to see how they agree on a pay package or even afford the €50 million release clause in Ronaldo's Al Nassr contract.
