Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Al-Nassr will end this month and can sign the Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus Legend for a team that competes at the Club World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo has rejected the chance to play for Brazilian Giants Fluminense at the Club World Cup. FIFA president Gianni Infantino is desperately looking for the 40-year-old Portuguese superstar to draw himself against Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland and Ousmane Dembele in the first extensive tournament that starts later this month in the United States.
Last month there were stories that a Brazilian club had approached Ronaldo about it to be added. Now Fluminense President Mario Bittencourt has confirmed that he contacted the agent of the striker Jorge Mendes to offer Ronaldo a passport to the tournament – only to hear that Ronaldo is not interested.
Bittencourt said: “I have a relationship with Jorge. Not a very close one, but when I call him, he answers.
“I asked him if there was a chance that Cristiano played in the club World Cup. He was very clear to tell me that he is not interested in playing in Brazil.”
Former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus Ace Ronaldo are currently negotiations on expanding his bank-busting £ 3.2 million a week with Saudi Pro League Club Al-Nassr. Messi plays for Inter Miami at the tournament after the MLS club was controversial in the tournament because the US is organizing the £ 1 billion event.
Infantino wants Ronaldo to join his big rival in an attempt to increase the interest in a match that has been criticized on a large scale because he adds to an already busy football calendar. The FIFA president told Youtuber and Streamer Ishespeed: “Ronaldo could play for one of the teams also at the Club World Cup. There are discussions.
“Cristiano Ronaldo could play in the club World Cup, yes. There are discussions with some clubs, so if a club watches and is interested in hiring Ronaldo for the club World Cup … who knows, who knows.”

Manchester City and Chelsea have the chance to bank the £ 100 million that go to the winners. In Rio, Fluminense has been pulled against Borussia Dortmund, Korean club Ulsan and Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa.
Botafogo manager Renato Paiva was asked about the prospect of signing Ronaldo and replied: “Christmas is only in December. But if he came, you can't say no to such a star.
“I know nothing – I only answer the question. But, as I said, coaches always want the best. Ronaldo, even at his age, is still a target score machine. In a team that coincidentally creates after coincidence, he would be good.”
