Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed that he will not participate in the Club World Cup, scheduled to commence on June 14 in the United States, despite ongoing interest from multiple teams. The player currently affiliated with Al-Nassr is contemplating a contract which may see him transition to another club in the future. Regarding these speculations, he stated:

“I will not be at the Club World Cup. Some teams reached out to me. Some made sense and others did not, but you can’t try and do everything. You can’t catch every ball.”

Al-Hilal, another team in the Saudi Pro League, was among those expressed interest, causing a stir among clubs in Saudi Arabia regarding his potential move, given that both clubs are owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund. Brazilian clubs and Monterrey from Liga MX have also been mentioned in connection with the forward.

Currently, Ronaldo is in discussions with the PIF and senior Saudi officials about his contract status. Al-Nassr aims to strengthen the team to compete for the league title, targeting players such as Luiz Diaz and David Hanko to enhance their squad.
