BREAKING: Cristiano Ronaldo Confirms Argentina World Cup Bid — River Plate Reportedly Made Proposal
In a stunning revelation, football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted to receiving offers from Argentina during the recent World Cup cycle. Speaking in a brief statement, the Portuguese star said, “I received bids from Argentina for the World Cup,” sparking widespread speculation across the footballing world.
Shortly after Ronaldo’s comments, Argentine sports outlet Olé broke the news that the proposal came from none other than River Plate — one of South America’s most iconic football clubs. According to the report, River Plate approached Ronaldo’s camp with a formal proposal to bring him to Argentina during the international window.
Sources close to the negotiation told Olé that River Plate’s offer was “serious and ambitious”, aiming to bring Ronaldo to Buenos Aires either before or after the World Cup, to help bolster their squad for both domestic and continental competitions. While the exact financial terms remain undisclosed, insiders describe the bid as “one of the boldest moves in South American football in years.”
The possibility of Ronaldo playing in Argentina has ignited massive excitement among fans and analysts alike. River Plate supporters flooded social media with messages urging the club to continue pursuing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, calling the idea of Ronaldo in red and white “a dream come true.”
However, the likelihood of the move remains uncertain. Ronaldo is currently under contract with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, and while he has shown openness to different footballing experiences, it is unclear if a South American chapter fits into his current career trajectory. His comments, nonetheless, confirmed the legitimacy of River’s interest.
Football experts have praised River Plate’s boldness, noting that it reflects the increasing ambition of South American clubs to attract global superstars. “This isn’t just about marketing. It’s about changing the landscape of football in the region,” said former Argentine international Pablo Aimar.
While no deal materialized, the revelation adds a new twist to Ronaldo’s legendary career. Whether or not he ever steps onto a pitch in Argentina, the interest from River Plate shows just how far-reaching his appeal remains — even on the other side of the Atlantic.
