The Athletic reported, citing sources close to Cristiano Ronaldo, that the Portuguese legend is extremely angry with FIFA President Gianni Infantino over his recent statements regarding Ronaldo’s participation in the Club World Cup.
Infantino was a guest on the popular YouTube show Speed, where he said that Ronaldo’s transfer to a club participating in the Club World Cup is possible, and that anything could happen in a few weeks.
According to the latest report, Infantino’s comments upset Ronaldo, who is currently in intensive negotiations with his club, Al-Nassr, to renew his contract and continue at the Parc des Princes for a year or more.
The source close to Ronaldo stated that the player has no intention of going on loan to any club, regardless of its name, to participate in the Club World Cup.
The 40-year-old doesn’t want media or senior officials to discuss his future at this time, preferring to remain calm and wait until he makes a final decision regarding renewing his contract with Al-Nassr or moving to another club.
Rumors of Ronaldo joining Al-Hilal persist, along with other rumors that he may move to a top Brazilian club.
Meanwhile, Al-Nassr has made Ronaldo a legendary contract renewal offer, making his continued stay with the club highly likely.
