Real Madrid is focused on strengthening the squad for the 2025 Club World Cup, with Cristiano Ronaldo among their top targets, according to the Spanish outlet Fichajes.
The club is considering a loan deal for the legendary forward, a move that has sparked excitement among fans.
A potential return of Ronaldo would provide a significant boost to the team’s chances of winning the tournament, thanks to his experience and leadership.
Besides Ronaldo, Real Madrid is also looking to make several high-profile signings. The club is reportedly close to finalizing a deal for Trent Alexander-Arnold to reinforce the right-back position, while Ibrahima Konaté and Martín Zubimendi are being considered for defense and midfield.
Dean Huijsen is also a potential candidate to join Los Blancos.
The club’s strategy is to build a well-balanced team by blending young talents with experienced veterans.
With several key players nearing the end of their contracts, including Luka Modrić, the arrival of Martín Zubimendi is seen as a long-term solution for the midfield.
The board is also evaluating the possibility of offloading some players, with Jesús Vallejo and David Alaba potentially leaving, depending on the offers they receive.
