Ronaldo declines offers to play at FIFA Club World Cup

Ronaldo declines offers to play at FIFA Club World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo’s claims that he is almost certain that he won’t play at the Club World Cup defy Gianni Infantino’s wishes to host one of the biggest attractions of football at the tournament are met with disappointment.

The Portugal star said on Saturday that he had received “quite a few” offers from participating clubs to play for them at the tournament starting on June 14, but that he had decided against accepting any of them.

You can’t take part in everything, Ronaldo said, “Some things make sense to talk about, and others don’t, and, as a person said, other things don’t.”

You must consider the short, medium, and long-term. Although I’ve received a number of invitations to attend the Club World Cup, I’ve decided not to participate in it.

The day before Portugal’s UEFA Nations League match against Spain, Ronaldo made a speech in Munich.

In a 2-1 semifinal win over Germany on Wednesday, the 40-year-old scored his 137th international goal to earn Portugal’s spot in the final.

Ronaldo responded to Ronaldo’s initial question regarding the FIFA Club World Cup, “This is irrelevant right now.” Other than the national team, “it makes no sense to talk about anything.”

In the UEFA Nations League semifinal match between Portugal and Germany on June 4 in Munich, Germany, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the game-winning goal.
