According to Egyptian press, Al-Ahly Club is considering borrowing Cristiano Ronaldo for 6 months to increase its strength to participate in the 2025 Club World Cup. If this deal comes true, Ronaldo could once again face Lionel Messi in the opening match of the FIFA tournament.
Previously, Ahmed Moussa, a prominent figure in the Egyptian media, publicly called on Al Ahly to recruit a group of stars, including the Portuguese superstar, to strengthen the team.
Some football experts in this country also commented that the above action could create large marketing profits for the team.
However, the proposal has sparked widespread controversy across social media platforms between supporters of the idea and opponents, who say it is impractical and harmful to the team’s financial viability.
With the above proposal, the leaders of Al Ahly Club are also seriously considering the possibility of borrowing Cristiano Ronaldo from Al-Nassr for 6 months.
According to Vice President Khaled Mortagy, Al Ahly’s budget is limited and could make this deal difficult. Ronaldo will also find it difficult to adapt and integrate into the team in a short time.
Mr. Mortagy still emphasized on Al Ahly TV that the team is ready to meet any request from coach Marcel Koller.
Al-Ahly are Africa’s top club and the reigning African Champions League champions. Following the Club World Cup draw, they will face Messi’s Inter Miami in the opening match of the 2025 Club World Cup.
If Ronaldo can move to this team and reunite with Messi, the 2025 Club World Cup promises to witness an exciting confrontation.
