The ultimate guess! 11 people in Riyadh won the 2025-26 season. Ronaldo joined forces with B. Kim Min-jae?

After failing to win the Saudi Professional League championship for six consecutive seasons, Riyadh Victory is taking major measures this summer to enhance the team's strength.

Ronaldo has promised to stay at the club and signed a new contract valid until the summer of 2027.

We evaluated Riyadh Victory's current lineup and combined with the latest transfer rumors to form a fantasy eleven lineup for them for the 2025-26 season.

Goalkeeper: Bento Krepski, the Brazilian goalkeeper joined from Athletic Valana last summer and is expected to continue to occupy the No. 1 goalkeeper in the 2025-26 season.

26-year-old maintained 10 clean sheets in 34 league games last season and had a reliable save success rate of 74.1%.

Right back: Sultan Al-Ghannam, 31, is one of the veterans in the victory locker room in Riyadh.

He was a member of the team's last championship (2018-19 season) and has made more than 240 appearances for the club.

Central defender: Kim Min-jae

The Bayern Munich central defender was associated with the transfer victory in Riyadh early this summer. However, it is not the only Saudi club that is interested in him.

Teams such as Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be interested in the 28-year-old, although the latest reports say he may still stay at Bayern in the end.

In ideal situations, players like Kim Min-jae would be a great choice for Riyadh victory, considering the defensive weakness they exposed last season.

At this stage, the hope for this transaction seems to be getting slim, but no one can say it.

Central back: Inigo Martinez

With Aymeric Laporte's possible departure, the Riyadh victory has locked in his replacement.

According to Fabricio Romano, the 34-year-old will terminate his contract with Barcelona to facilitate his transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Martinez was a low-key hero in Hansi Flick's team, playing a key role in the team's journey to win the La Liga title.

Leftback: Nawaf Al-Boushal

The Saudi full-back performed well last season, contributing nine goals or assists in 30 league games.

As Riyadh victory did not look for a new left-back in the market, Albshar should be able to retain his starting position.

Midfielder: Marcelo Brozovic

Brozovic will drag in the midfield and intercept and sweep in the midfield.

The 32-year-old has been a stable starter since his victory in Riyadh from Inter Milan in 2023 and will undoubtedly play a crucial role this season.

Midfielder: Bernardo Silva

The last 12 months left in his contract with Manchester City, and rumors of leaving Silva have begun to increase.

The 30-year-old has been associated with the transfer to Saudi Arabia, and the Riyadh victory is said to be one of the clubs of interest.

In June, Silva confirmed his intention to stay in Manchester for the 2025-26 season, but a high-paying contract offered by Riyadh victory could change his position.

Right winger: Mason Greenwood (Mason Greenwood)

After scoring 21 league goals for Marseille last season, Greenwood was linked to the transfer victory.

However, Marseille reportedly asked for a transfer fee of £85 million before he was willing to let him leave France.

Mid-in-Link: Joao Felix

Chelsea sold the Portuguese international to Riyadh last month, earning £43.7 million.

The 25-year-old has struggled to maintain a stable state recently and hopes to restart his career in the Middle East.

When discussing the transfer, Ronaldo told reporters: "I think it's a better choice for Joao to go to Saudi Arabia than to play in the Portuguese Super League. Given the stars, players and competition levels there, I believe it's a good choice for him. Although he didn't participate in the Champions League, some people say he's too young to play in Saudi Arabia, I think his decision is very wise."

Left winger: Sadio Mane

Although Mane is no longer at his peak, he is still one of the best players in the Saudi professional league.

The 33-year-old scored 18 goals and contributed 14 assists last season and will undoubtedly play a key role in the 2025-26 season.

Forward: Cristiano Ronaldo

With Jhon Duran joining Fenerbahce on loan, Ronaldo will once again be the core of Riyadh's victory offensive end.

The 40-year-old is still sharp in the offensive third zone and is eager to add another Golden Boot Award to his huge collection.

Since joining in January 2023, he has scored 99 goals in 111 games, but has not yet won any important trophy.

If Riyadh wins, he hopes to end the championship drought this season.
