Gallardo Calls Ronaldo: River Plate's Bold Bid for Football Star

River Plate's Pursuit of Ronaldo: A Call, but No Concrete Offer Buenos Aires, Argentina – Reports from Argentina suggest that River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo contacted Cristiano Ronaldo, sparking speculation of a potential transfer. However, sources indicate the call was more of an exploratory conversation than a formal offer. "Marcelo Gallardo is a coach who likes to call players and try to convince them about his project," said DAZNFootball in a recent video discussing the news. "This call was more to understand the situation than a proposal." Despite the contact, Ronaldo is widely expected to continue his career in Saudi Arabia, making a move to River Plate unlikely. The news highlights the ambition of River Plate, a club with a huge fanbase, while underscoring the current reality of Ronaldo's situation. The rumor serves as a reminder of the global appeal of Cristiano Ronaldo and the enduring allure of South American football giants. The fact that a club like River Plate even attempted contact reflects their ambition to attract top-tier talent.
