Rumors have suggested a possible transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Brazil, specifically to Flamengo. However, Flamengo's sporting director, José Boto, stated that their main goal is to have a reinforcement for the rest of the season, not just for the Club World Cup. The financial aspect is a major hurdle, as Ronaldo's salary of approximately 200 million euros per year in Saudi Arabia is beyond the reach of Brazilian clubs.

Team Talk reports on a major offer sent by a Brazilian club to Ronaldo, aiming for a potential transfer. An unnamed Brazilian club, potentially Flamengo, has sent Ronaldo’s camp a ‘major offer’ as they aim to complete an audacious transfer. This offer would open up the possibility of Ronaldo participating in the Club World Cup.

Flamengo is one of the four Brazilian clubs competing in the upcoming Club World Cup that have reportedly approached Ronaldo. However, the move is considered unlikely due to financial constraints. Additionally, Transfermarkt currently estimates the player's market value at 12.00 million euros.
