Cristiano Ronaldo transfer talks with Wydad Casablanca confirmed: Portugal star nears Al-Nassr exit before Club World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo's sensational exit from Al-Nassr appears imminent as transfer rumors linking the Portuguese superstar to Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca have been confirmed by incoming player Nordin Amrabat. The former Hull City winger, now set to represent Wydad in the upcoming 2025 Club World Cup, revealed in a candid interview with De Telegraaf that his new club is actively pursuing a deal for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

Amrabat, when questioned about the Cristiano Ronaldo rumors, responded, "The president is very ambitious and is still working with some very big names. It is true that Cristiano is one of them." This statement strongly suggests that Wydad Casablanca, one of Africa’s most storied clubs, is in serious talks to secure the services of the global icon for the high-profile tournament.
Ronaldo’s current contract with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr is set to expire on June 30, while the Club World Cup begins on June 13. This timeline indicates that any move to Wydad would require an early release or buyout agreement with Al-Nassr. With only one match remaining in the Saudi Pro League—an away game against Al Fateh on Monday night—it’s increasingly likely that this could be Ronaldo’s final appearance for the club.
The 39-year-old has enjoyed a prolific stint at Al-Nassr but has never shied away from ambitious challenges and historic moves. A transfer to Wydad Casablanca would not only bolster the Club World Cup’s global appeal but also mark a monumental chapter in Ronaldo’s illustrious career, symbolizing his willingness to break new ground even in the twilight of his playing days.
If the deal materializes, Cristiano Ronaldo would become the biggest star ever to play for a Moroccan side and significantly elevate Wydad’s stature on the international stage. The football world now waits with bated breath as negotiations reportedly continue behind closed doors.
