Transfer of the Century: Ronaldo and Messi Could Play Together

The greatest rivals in football history - Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi - could potentially unite in the same team during the final stage of their careers. This possibility was reported by beIN Sports.

Ronaldo's relationship with Al-Nassr has reportedly become strained. During a recent match, Cristiano’s refusal to take the pitch signaled his growing dissatisfaction with the club's leadership. Portuguese media outlets report that the bond between the star striker and the Saudi club is nearing its breaking point.

David Beckham, co-owner of Inter Miami, is keen on bringing Ronaldo to the United States, just as he did with Messi. The North American MLS is increasingly becoming an attractive destination for both legendary veterans and rising talents.

Two Major Obstacles to the Transfer:

• Financial Costs: To terminate Ronaldo’s current contract with Al-Nassr, any acquiring club would need to pay a compensation fee of approximately $50 million.
• Designated Player (DP) Rule: Under MLS regulations, each club has a limited number of spots for players whose salaries exceed the league's cap. Currently, Inter Miami has only one vacant spot, as the other two are occupied by

Lionel Messi and Germán Berterame.
While this transfer is currently viewed as a "long shot," Ronaldo’s increasing frustration in Saudi Arabia could accelerate his move to America. If this happens, football fans will witness the two legends playing in the same jersey for the very first time.
