Ronaldo could partner with Messi in the US. |
Speaking to the media, Infantino confirmed: "Cristiano Ronaldo could play for one of the teams participating in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. We are having discussions."
Not stopping there, the head of FIFA also expressed his desire to see the two contemporary legends play together: "I would love to see Cristiano and Messi play together. Imagine them playing for the same team in this tournament? That would be truly special."
The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is an expanded version featuring 32 of the world's top clubs, held in the US in June. Messi is guaranteed to participate, representing Inter Miami as an MLS representative. Meanwhile, Ronaldo's Al Nassr did not qualify for the tournament.
However, FIFA confirmed that the 32 teams participating in the 2025 Club World Cup are allowed to make transfers or loan deals during the special registration period from June 1 to 10.
If both sides reach an agreement, including financially, Ronaldo could temporarily play for another club in the FIFA Club World Cup before signing a permanent contract with his new team for the 2025/26 season, or even with Al Nassr if the two sides continue their cooperation.
At 40 years old, Ronaldo remains the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League and plays an irreplaceable role in the Portuguese national team under coach Roberto Martinez.
CR7's brand appeal remains global, not to mention his impressive professional ability. "The scenario of Messi facing Ronaldo on American soil is strongly supported by FIFA," Marca wrote.
