Transfer Shockwave? Cristiano Ronaldo Set to Join Al Hilal, Says Ex-Al Batin President

In what could be one of the most dramatic twists in recent football history, former Al-Batin president Nasser Al-Huwaidi has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo is close to sealing a blockbuster move to Al Hilal, Al Nassr’s fiercest rivals.

This revelation, made via Kooora, suggests that an official announcement is imminent, potentially bringing a thrilling new chapter in Ronaldo’s ever-dramatic career. With his current Al Nassr deal expiring in June, the Portuguese icon is set to become a free agent — and apparently, Al Hilal is wasting no time.

“Cristiano Ronaldo is close to joining Al Hilal, and this deal will be announced in the coming days,” Al-Huwaidi confidently stated.

“His arrival will give the Club World Cup a huge boost. Al Hilal will have the highest attendance in the tournament.”

The deal is expected to bolster Al Hilal’s FIFA Club World Cup ambitions, with plans to sign three more international stars. Al-Huwaidi even went as far as saying Ronaldo is currently better than Aleksandar Mitrovic, Al Hilal’s leading striker.

💭 Opinion: Ronaldo to Al Hilal – Football Move or Pride Play?

Let’s be honest — if this move happens, it will shake the foundations of the Saudi Pro League. From Al Nassr’s talisman to Al Hilal’s headline act, it’s like moving from Barcelona to Real Madrid. This isn't just about football anymore — it’s about ego, legacy, and headlines.

Ronaldo has always chased greatness, but this time, the motive seems more calculated: a shot at the Club World Cup, continued relevance, and perhaps, a final flourish in the twilight of his career.

Still, fans are split. Is this an honorable next step or a desperate move for one last dance in the limelight?

One thing’s certain: if CR7 dons the Al Hilal blue, the Middle East football rivalry will reach boiling point.
