RB Sports reports that Ronaldo, a midfielder for Bulgarian club Levski Sofia, is set to join Rostov. The player’s agent, Julio Cesar Granja, confirmed the move to Rostov and noted the contract length would span 4.5 years.
Granja stated clearly that Ronaldo is heading to Rostov and that the agreement covers four and a half years. The confirmation came from discussions cited by RB Sports, reflecting the agent’s account of the negotiations and the terms involved.
In the Bulgarian top flight this season, Ronaldo has appeared in 17 matches and found the back of the net four times, demonstrating his continued contribution from midfield and his ability to influence games in the attack.
After 18 rounds of the Russian Premier League, Krasnodar leads the standings with 38 points, entering the winter break at the top. In the 18th round, Vladimir Ivich’s squad edged CSKA 1-0. Zenit sits in second place, two points behind, while Dinamo Moscow holds third place with 32 points. These results set the tone for the second half of the season as teams prepare for resumed competition.
Rostov remains in tenth place with 21 points, reflecting a campaign that has seen fluctuations in form and a clear desire to rise in the table after the upcoming goals. The club will resume play with Russian Cup fixtures scheduled for February, followed by the 19th round of the national championship in early March. Rostov is expected to face Krylya Sovetov Samara as Valery Karpin’s squad returns to league action, a match that could prove pivotal for the club’s trajectory in the standings.
The ongoing transfer chatter has sparked questions about which players might return or move on, keeping the talking points alive across the league as teams reassess their squads during the winter window. The focus remains on how the new arrivals and departures will shape the battles ahead in the RPL and how Rostov’s adaptation to Ronaldo’s arrival could influence their performance in the second half of the season.
