Ronaldo loan move to Al-Hilal 'counter-intuitive'

Al-Hilal CEO Esteve Calzada revealed that a loan move for Cristiano Ronaldo was considered but deemed counter-intuitive due to his ties with rival club Al-Nassr. The FIFA-introduced transfer window before the Club World Cup prompted speculations about a possible deal for the 40-year-old forward. Calzada emphasized the importance of making decisions beyond short-term tournaments and expressed ambitions to strengthen the team further in the upcoming traditional transfer window.
