Cristiano Ronaldo rumors spark controversy in Guayaquil

Speculation is growing regarding a potential friendly match featuring Cristiano Ronaldo in Guayaquil, Ecuador, in 2027. Businessman Daniel Molina, who facilitated Lionel Messi’s visit to the city in 2025, has publicly expressed interest in bringing the Portuguese star to the ‘Noche Amarilla’ event. Recent rumors were fueled by a photograph of Molina with Miguel Montalvo, the president of Barcelona SC.

However, the proposal has drawn criticism from journalist Vito Muñoz. Muñoz questioned Molina’s current promotional strategy, suggesting it lacks the discretion used during the Messi visit. He also raised concerns regarding past issues during the ‘Messi Experience,’ where some fans reportedly felt disadvantaged, calling on Molina to honor promises made to those affected before pursuing new high-profile events.
