Cristiano Ronaldo is 'looking forward' to the Club World Cup with new team!

While it is being decided whether Leon will regain its place in the FIFA Club World Cup, in recent hours the rumor has gained strength that Cristiano Ronaldo could play in this tournament despite the fact that Al Nassr did not qualify

The 40-year-old Portuguese star's contract with the Saudi Arabian team expires this summer and he has yet to renew his contract with the club

Why Cristiano Ronaldo could play in the 2025 Club World Cup

According to information from Sky Sports in England, FIFA would open an extraordinary transfer window. Players without a contract and who are free agents could sign with any of the 32 participating clubs

If he renews with Al Nassr and there is a formal offer in time, Cristiano would have the opportunity to play in the Club World Cup

Other international media outlets have reported that Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia), Inter Milan and even Real Madrid are interested in having CR7 as part of their squads for the tournament in the United States

Will Cristiano Ronaldo play in the Club World Cup with Lionel Messi's Inter Miami?

To top it off, there are those who have mentioned the possibility of him joining Inter Miami on a short-term deal to play alongside Lionel Messi for the first time

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano said on his X (formerly Twitter) account that there is absolutely nothing and that this information is false

Forming the forward line with "La Pulga" and Luis Suarez would be worthy of a video game, but it seems that it will remain a "pipe dream"
