<p>As things stand, the Portuguese superstar is due to become a free agent this summer. His record-breaking contract in the Saudi Pro League continues to run down. Fresh terms are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-agrees-extend-al-nassr-contract-neymar-al-hilal-highest-paid-player-football-history/blt6f4903f86d02e6b5" target="_blank">expected to be agreed at some stage</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>With Ronaldo intending to grace a sixth World Cup in 2026, a new deal will be required somewhere. There have been calls for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/david-beckham-tipped-lionel-messi-cristiano-ronaldo-together-inter-miami-cr7-mls-bigger-than-ever-transfer-al-nassr/blt580d6f0eaa68dde7" target="_blank">join fellow GOAT Lionel Messi in MLS at Inter Miami</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>CR7 has now been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/buy-wrexham-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-his-drivers-cristiano-ronaldo-project-portuguese-goat-tipped-acquire-club-retired/blte4528b62d42bccdd" target="_blank">offered more future advice</a> by a fellow former Premier League star and European Championship winner. Ex-Greece international Giorgos Karagounis once graced the books at Fulham, while also enjoying two memorable spells with Athens-based heavyweights.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Karagounis has told <a href="https://www.spingenie.com/blog/spin-pr/exclusive-interview-with-giorgos-karagounis/ " target="_blank"><em>Spin Genie</em></a>: “I’m not sure if we’ll ever see Cristiano Ronaldo at Wrexham, but I’d love to see him in Greece with Panathinaikos. </p><p>“Panathinaikos are a great club and although we don’t know what the future holds, Ronaldo is so famous and so are Panathinaikos in Greece. He’s already worn green with Sporting so why not with Panathinaikos, I’d love to see it.”</p>

WHAT GIORGOS KARAGOUNIS SAID

<p>Plenty of famous faces have represented Panathinaikis down the years, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-legend-sol-campbell-reveals-seven-current-gunners-stars-good-enough-invincibles-squad/bltcb3ca15c804c168e" target="_blank">including Arsenal ‘Invincible’</a> Gilberto Silva. Chelsea icon Michael Essien also headed down that path, as did one-time Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse and Ronaldo’s fellow Portuguese Helder Postiga, who once took in a brief spell at Tottenham.</p>
