JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo has not shown any signs of hanging up his boots. He is now associated with a move to the English club.
Wrexham, who currently plays in League One, the third level of England competition, is predicted to be ready to sign Ronaldo once his contract at Al Nassr expires in 2025.
The Portuguese superstar now doesn't really question which league he plays in as long as a club is able to pay him.
Wrexham is also considered capable of bringing in Ronaldo considering that they now have Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
The two actors took over Wrexham since November 2020. The club nicknamed The Robins has also experienced a rapid increase since then.
Wrexham was promoted to League Two (Inggris' fourth level) in 2023/2024. A year later, they rose again to League One.

The top US millionaires stated that their goal was to bring Wrexham promotions to the Premier League.
Kans tersebut besar lantaran Wrexham berjalan di trek positif. Mereka sedang menghuni peringkat dua Liga One 2024/2025.
Therefore, Wrexham needs new strength by bringing in stars to realize its goals. Ronaldo is also the next target even though the public still sees it as unreasonable.
Former Arsenal defender Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, William Gallas, are optimistic that Ronaldo will move to Wrexham.
"Cristiano Ronaldo to Wrexham? Anything is possible in football in modern play."
"I wouldn't be surprised because money talks and we've seen that nothing is impossible lately," Gallas said.
The former French national team player further said that modern football was much different.
The digital era brought football to a new world, which is no longer a matter of performance on the field, but also a profile that can attract sponsors.
"You see young players going to Saudi Arabia. In fact, they will never leave Europe in the past."
"Football players and football clubs are now obsessed with their brands and sponsors. You can make a lot of money and not just from your salary at the club."
"Now it's all about social media and has millions of followers. Both Wrexham and Ronaldo have a big profile. So why not?"
"I've spoken to my former team-mates about social media and everything that's happening now. It feels like a different world. So much is now possible."
"Ronaldo is more than just a footballer, he is a product. He is also still scoring so many goals on the pitch. There will be many clubs who are still happy to have him," Gallas said again.
The problem is, it's only now how Wrexham can manage their finances if they sign Ronaldo.
Currently, many League One clubs are jealous of Wrexham's nearly 2 million pounds in the summer transfer market.
George Evans' salary of 7,200 per week made him the star with the highest salary at Wrexham.
That figure is still far from Ronaldo's current salary at Al Nassr which receives 3.4 million pounds each week.
However, again, nothing is impossible. Wrexham's furore expressing the intention of landing the 39-year-old has sparked speculation surrounding Ronaldo's future.
Moreover, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is eyeing a personal record to reach a thousand goals throughout his career before hanging up his boots.
Ronaldo has told his best friend, Rio Ferdinand, that he wants to play football until he is at least 41 years old to make this dream come true.
Playing in the league under the Premier League will certainly make it easier for the road to reach the target of 1,000 goals.
