Portuguesa president, Alex Bourgeois has expressed his desire to persuade Al-Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to join the Brazilian club.The Paulista A1 side is making bold moves to attract high-profile European players, having previously attempted to sign Radamel Falcao and Nani. Speaking to CNN (via TalkSPORT) Bourgeois explained: Reinforcement and rescue the pride of the Portuguese community here in Brazil, yes, that was exactly it (the attempt to sign Nani).We are behind and we will try for 2026, for the 2026 Paulisto, to bring in a great Portuguese.Hes the greatest Portuguese of all time, hes the greatest personality in the world today.It would be great, but I can imagine how many people dont offer anything related to Portugal to Cristiano Ronaldo, right?But its obvious that hes a great Portuguese, and obviously, at some point, were going to have to try to talk. What we need, which is part of our strategic plan, is to create a bridge between Brazil and Portugal through Portuguesa, for Portuguesa to be this channel.We are already making some progress in this direction. We believe that this will bring many people from this community of 25 million closer to us.There are many things in Portugal, besides Portuguese football, for which Brazilians go there, whether it be for wine, food, religion, beaches, etc.So, what we want is to bring all of this to the closest place here in Brazil to create this bridge he added. Ronaldo, now 40, is nearing the end of his contract with Al-Nassr and is free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement.However, speculation suggests he could be looking to extend his stay in the Middle East as a potential new deal worth 183 million per year could be on the cards to cement his status as the worlds highest-paid footballer.  The post Brazilian Club, Portuguesa plot bold move for Cristiano Ronaldo appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
