Liverpool offer Cristiano Ronaldo if Portugal are knocked out by Switzerland

The key moment of the Qatar 2022 World Cup has arrived. After getting through the group stage, the qualified teams are looking to reach the Grand Final in Doha on 18 December. Portugal is a great candidate to win the World Cup, as it has a player with a great balance, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, winner of five 'Golden Balls' and who is now on the radar of the Liverpool FC team.

The 'Bicho', who has already won the European Championship and the UEFA Nations League with the Lusitanians, is looking to repeat that joy at the World Cup in Qatar. The pressure on Ronaldo and Portugal is great, as the match against Switzerland next Tuesday could end with what would be the last World Cup for the 37-year-old Portuguese, who is without a team after leaving ManU.

Liverpool know that Ronaldo's arrival at Anfield would be a huge media signing, and having the living legend of the Red's Devil's fierce rivals in their dressing room would be a blow to Manchester United, who failed to value all the experience and talent that Ronaldo could give them in his second spell, which lasted more than a year.

Ronaldo would have the number 7 on Merseyside, as James Milner, the 36-year-old veteran, would finish his contract with the Reds, leaving the number that has characterised the Portuguese in his recent career completely free, except when he used the number 9 when he arrived in Madrid, the number 17 with Luis Figo's national team and the number 28 when he started at Sporting Lisbon.

<strong>Cristiano Ronaldo looks to transcend in Qatar</strong>

Ronaldo is now in high spirits, knowing that he is leading a young Portugal side with the likes of Joao Felix, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and others who have the talent to beat the Swiss in Lusail. Liverpool fans will be keeping a close eye on what Ronaldo will do on Tuesday.  The 'Bicho' has played in all three group games, scoring one goal so far (Ghana).
