Cristiano Ronaldo has said he does not plan to play at the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States, despite being courted by clubs participating in the expanded 32-team tournament.
Speculation over the Portugal forward’s future intensified last month when the Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, said discussions were under way about Ronaldo potentially playing in the Club World Cup, despite his club side, Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr, failing to qualify.
Asked about the possibility of signing for another club in order to play at the Club World Cup later this month, Ronaldo told reporters: “It’s irrelevant, at the moment it doesn’t make sense to talk about things other than the national team.
