Antonio Adan

Adan came through the Real Madrid academy and was used mainly as a backup goalkeeper. Ronaldo and Adan played together just 12 times. He played for Sporting CP since 2020 but left early this summer, and at 37, he is heading towards retirement.

Cedric Soares

Soares and Ronaldo played together in the Portugal national team, and their best moment came in 2016 when they won Euro 2016. The 32-year-old fullback is a free agent after leaving Arsenal.

Adrien Rabiot

Rabiot has been linked with Manchester United for a while. He is unemployed after leaving Juventus, where Ronaldo and Rabiot played together 70 times. They won the 2019/20 Serie A title. The Frenchman is only 29, so he will be able to find a new home in the next few weeks.

Navas is a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain. He spent early 2023 at Nottingham Forest on loan. He was linked with a move to Italy, but a deal never materialized.
