"Send This Message to Him" - Former Manchester United Star Asks Rio Ferdinand to Convince Cristiano Ronaldo to Join Brazil Giants

  • Rafael da Silva reached out to Rio Ferdinand, asking him to encourage Cristiano Ronaldo to sign with Botafogo ahead of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup taking place in the United States next month.
  • This request follows FIFA's special transfer window allowing clubs in the tournament to sign players ahead of kick-off, with Botafogo participating alongside three other Brazilian teams.
  • At 40 years old and currently with Al Nassr, Ronaldo experienced a challenging season without securing any trophies and missed out on qualification for the upcoming Asian Champions League, while reportedly attracting interest from several Brazilian clubs.
  • The bid to Ronaldo reportedly involves significant outside investment, aims to secure his participation in the expanded Club World Cup, and is described as a major and lucrative offer.
  • If Ronaldo joins, it would allow him to compete in a high-profile tournament and suggest possible contract renewal uncertainty at Al Nassr with his current deal expiring in summer 2025.
