Inter Miami could shake up the global market with a true bombshell in the summer of 2026. After the World Cup, the 'Herons' are not ruling out trying to sign Cristiano Ronaldo to form an unprecedented duo alongside Leo Messi

Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi would have one last chance to play together, on the same team, before ending their legendary careers. The latest information indicates 'CR7's' interest in trying his luck in Major League Soccer (MLS), perhaps after the World Cup, taking advantage of the media impact that playing in the United States would entail.

Although Cristiano has a year and a half left on his contract with **Al Nassr** and feels very comfortable living in Arabia, **three years without titles in Saudi football** are leading him to reconsider a more successful ending to his club career.In this regard, the presence of **David Beckham** at the helm of **Inter Miami** could be decisive in bringing the Portuguese player to the 'Herons', in what would be an unprecedented operation: reuniting Messi and Ronaldo on the same team.

Unlike Al Nassr, Inter Miami has indeed benefited in its trophy cabinet thanks to the sporting impact of 'La Pulga's' arrival in the summer of 2023. The club has already won the Leagues Cup and the MLS Cup. They only lack the Concachampions to have the three main annual North American club trophies in their display cases.

For Cristiano, **moving to Florida would open the door to new advertising contracts**, in addition to having a much more everyday environment for his family. As for salary, however, he would probably receive significantly lower emoluments than what he earns in Arabia (around 200 million gross per year).

Leo Messi, for the moment, earns around 110 'kilos' gross per season, which would make it logical to think of a similar salary for 'CR7'. However, the Rosario-born player receives other bonuses for performance and advertising rights that bring his net income closer to what the still Al Nassr goalscorer bills.

In any case, the 40-year-old player, who has scored 11 goals in his first 13 games this season, will hardly make a decision about his future prior to the 2026 World Cup, his sixth and final with Portugal.

Cristiano Makes His Medium-Term Goals Clear

"It's tough to keep playing, but I still have the passion and I'm motivated to continue," he began, upon receiving another award at the Globe Soccer Awards, this time as the best player in the Middle East in 2025In that regard, he made it clear that his objective is to try to **reach 1,000 official goals (he is 44 short)**, in addition to staying healthy and continuing to win titles at club and national team level.

"No matter where I play, in the Middle East or in Europe, I always want to win more trophies and I want to reach the number that you all know. I am sure I will reach it if there are no injuries. Enjoy the night and happy new year," he stated at the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony held in Dubai.

Ronaldo's contract with Al Nassr runs until 2027, but he doesn't rule out a change of scenery after the World Cup. Everything will depend on whether he finally manages to win a title with the Canary Islands team, with whom he has already scored 104 goals and provided 22 assists in 118 official matches

Will David Beckham be able to reunite CR7 with Leo Messi in Miami? Inter needs to sign a goalscorer in 2026 and, in addition to Cristiano, is also keeping an eye on the future of Robert Lewandowski. The Pole, unlike the Portuguese, could arrive in MLS as a free agent if Barça decides not to renew him
