I confess that I asked myself the same question when I read some posts in this thread about this possibility. I thought it was a joke. Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't give up a good salary to go play in the Brazilian league, which is a very different league; there he would simply be forgotten. It would be worth more to him if he went to the US league because he would be paid a good salary and could probably be given shares in the club that hired him as part of the deal.

In Brazil, he wouldn't earn anything useful, he wouldn't earn much money, he wouldn't get attention, he wouldn't have shares in the club that hired him. Just look at how great players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Robinho ended up... all of them were forgotten when they went to the Brazilian league.

Cristiano Ronaldo will absolutely not move to a Brazilian league just because of the Club World Cup because he will not settle for a lower salary or fewer benefits based on the fact that he wouldn’t want to be forgotten just like the former great players who were forgotten in lesser leagues.
Well, there might be a club that can be able to afford him, just as Santos bought Neymar Jr for such a huge deal.Well, Ronaldo wouldn’t consider a move to the US because of Messi's dominance in the league. If he moves to MLS, he won’t be the king anymore because Messi has dominated the league, and they are both too old for competition in the same league at their current ages.

There are quite a lot of speculations regarding Ronaldo future at the moment, we don't know which one is closer to the truth. However, I also have the same thought that, it is very unlikely that Ronaldo will move to Brazil, because his income will decrease drastically if he leaves Al Nassr. I also don't think Ronaldo will move to MLS, this is no longer the era to compete with Messi, everything has changed due to age factors.

It is possible that Ronaldo is considering retiring in the near future, his contract with Al Nassr will expire in June. We know that Al Nassr management is very keen to extend Ronaldo contract, because it is not only in the interests of the club, but to maintain the appeal of the Saudi Pro League globally. During his time with Al Nassr, Ronaldo has not managed to win a prestigious trophy, they should build better squad depth while Ronaldo is with them.
