Cristiano Ronaldo reveals stance on playing in the Club World Cup after ‘receiving many invitations’ to leave Al-Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken out about potentially playing in this summer’s Club World Cup.
Ronaldo, 40, currently plays for Al-Nassr who have not qualified for the tournament, but he has been linked with a transfer away to join a club that is participating.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino only fuelled speculation when he told YouTuber iShowSpeed last month that talks were ongoing about Ronaldo featuring in the newly-expanded competition.
Ahead of playing in Sunday’s Nations League final for Portugal against Spain, Ronaldo has now revealed that he does not expect to play at the Club World Cup.
‘It’s almost decided that I will not take part at the FIFA Club World Cup despite receiving many invitations and proposals,’ Ronaldo told reporters.
‘There have been talks, contacts… but you have to think about short, medium and long term.’
