Al Nassr striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, has confirmed he will not play at the Club World Cup in the United States, despite being courted by several clubs.
Speculation over Ronaldo’s future increased after FIFA president, Gianni Infantino claimed there had been discussions about the 40-year-old playing in the Club World Cup.
Al Nassr did not qualify for the competition and Ronaldo is out of contract at the end of the month.
But when asked about the possibility of signing for another club in the coming days in order to play in 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.
“There has been plenty of contact [from clubs], I see things that make sense, others that don’t. You can’t go to all of them [clubs], you have to think short, medium and long term.
“It’s something that’s practically decided on my part, which is not to go to the Club World Cup, but I’ve had plenty of invitations.”
