Following the conclusion of the 2025 Saudi Pro League season, reports from sources close to Cristiano Ronaldo suggest that a potential move to LAFC to participate in the Club World Cup is a strong possibility. The transfer hinges on LAFC winning their play-in match against Liga MX Club América on Saturday, May 31, at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. FIFA has established a special transfer window from June 1 to June 10, allowing clubs to sign players specifically for the tournament, which could facilitate Ronaldo's transfer.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has mentioned that discussions are ongoing with some clubs about Ronaldo's participation in the Club World Cup.

LAFC is one of the teams that, if qualified, would represent the CONCACAF region in the tournament along with Monterrey, Seattle Sounders, Inter Miami, and Pachuca.

Ronaldo's contract with Al-Nassr is set to expire on June 30, making him a free agent and potentially available for a short-term deal.

While there is no official confirmation, the special transfer window and ongoing discussions suggest that a move to LAFC is a feasible scenario. Rumors about the potential move are circulating faster than reliable sources can verify the information.
