League One

Stockport County

Wrexham

Saudi Pro League

Al Nassr FC

Al Qadasiya

<p>Playing commitments continue to dominate Ronaldo’s thoughts for now, with the Portuguese superstar <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/contract-extension-cristiano-ronaldo-40-al-nassr-superstar-prolong-62-goal-stint-saudi-arabia/blt9b5fe85776a669ee" target="_blank">still going strong at 39 years of age</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>There has been talk of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/boss-man-utd-cristiano-jr-ronaldo-tipped-very-good-manager-record-breaking-boots-knowledge-next-generation/blt8f69c7b96a4c0b3c" target="_blank">CR7 moving into coaching at that stage</a>, as he has vast experience to pass on to the next generation, but he may decide to steer clear of the stresses that life on the touchline can bring. He boasts the kind of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-first-lionel-messi-third-kylian-mbappe-forbes-highest-paid-athletes-chart-nba-nfl-superstars/blt2773c489e02ffa48" target="_blank">personal fortune that would allow investment in a sporting venture</a> to be considered.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It has been suggested by some that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-hollywood-movie-chance-cristiano-ronaldo-wrexham-world-cup-winner-explaining-next-career-move/blt1104dfa1240b9a68" target="_blank">Ronaldo may be tempted to join Hollywood co-owners Reynolds and McElhenney at Wrexham</a>, with Louis Saha - speaking to <em>BoyleSports</em>, who offer the latest <a href="https://www.boylesports.com/sports/football/competition/england-premier-league " target="_blank">Premier League odds</a> – saying of what may be next for his former Manchester United team-mate: “Cristiano Ronaldo can follow in the footsteps of Ryan Reynolds at Wrexham and he would be a huge success. There is no better promoter in the world than Cristiano and that would work wonders at a football club no matter the level.</p><p>“Social media is a massive machine and nobody can compete with Cristiano, he is the biggest star in the world and whatever he does in retirement, people are going to follow. He brought 20 million more followers to Al-Nassr in a year and if he decided to buy a club it could be even bigger. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney made a huge impact at Wrexham straight away and were able to spend a lot of money on players and we’ve seen the success they’ve had since. I’d be very happy to be a sporting director if Cristiano Ronaldo does decide to buy a club!”</p>

WHAT SAHA SAID

<p>While Reynolds and McElhenney are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/will-ferrell-hollywood-consortium-wrexham-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-told-what-required-completely-different-ball-game-next-promotion-push/bltd35d6ff781d08aa9 " target="_blank">generating plenty of headlines in North Wales</a>, another iconic ex-United No.7 is doing likewise in the United States.
