However, Ronaldo's potential involvement has sparked interest, with reports suggesting that the deal could be facilitated by the Saudi royal family.

Ronaldo, has made it clear that he would only be interested in pursuing the project if Valencia retains its top-flight status in Spain.

The club currently sits four points clear of the relegation zone.

While the proposal is still in its early stages, Mundo Deportivo reports that the story is now "news rather than rumor."
