However, Former Al-Ahly coach Hossam El-Badry feels a deal for Ronaldo will not be beneficial for the African champions.
"If Cristiano Ronaldo comes, it will be at the expense of other players, and in the end you will not sacrifice Wissam Abu Ali, the striker," El-Badry said, as per Kooora.
The former Al Aly coach did add that Ronaldo's former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema would be a better acquisition.
"The specifications that Al-Ahly needs apply to Karim Benzema, the leader of the Saudi Al-Ittihad, and not Ronaldo."
Al Ahly will be back in action on Sunday evening against Esperance in the CAF Champions League group stages.
