FIFA 23: Ronaldo Listed As Free Agent In Career Mode
A few years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo was very likely to turn you down if you contacted him with the wrong club or offered him a ridiculously low salary. As a free player, almost every club in FIFA 23's career mode can afford him.
For example, another player on Reddit signed CR7 for a mere 29K salary and a signing bonus of just 100,000. SIIIIUUUUUUUUUUper duper deal, if you'd ask us. Even if the Portuguese is no longer one of the best players in the game, he still makes the starting XI for many clubs.
Cristiano Ronaldo is available as a free agent in the latest squad update. from FIFA
While he already got a farewell Flashback SBC in Ultimate Team, he's now the wet dream of many career mode enjoyers – especially if you're starting with a third division team or worse. Here are some of the best CR7 transfers in career mode:
- Paris Saint-Germain due to the Messi-Ronaldo-connection (if not in RL, then at least in FIFA)
- Real Madrid, together with Gareth Bale to reunite "BBC"
- Sporting CP, because that's where we all wanted him to end up
- your local childhood club, to see one of the GOATs in your own jersey
If you haven't started a career yet and usually wait until FUT is dead for the year, you might want to start earlier this time around. It may very well be that Ronaldo will be added to the al-Nasr FC squad with the next FIFA update – after which negotiations over a potential move will definitely be less SIIIUUUUUUUUUmple.
