FIFA 'gives green light' for Ronaldo to pair with Messi

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has revealed the possibility that Cristiano Ronaldo could feature at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, possibly even alongside Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo can play with Messi in America.

Speaking to the media, Mr. Infantino affirmed: "Cristiano Ronaldo can 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 two contemporary legends on the same side: "I would love to see Cristiano and Messi play together. Imagine them playing for the same team in this tournament? That would be something really special."

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is an expanded edition featuring 32 of the world's top clubs, which will be held in the US in June. Messi will definitely be representing MLS with Inter Miami, while Ronaldo's Al Nassr will not be in the tournament.

However, FIFA confirmed that the 32 teams participating in the 2025 Club World Cup are allowed to make transfers or loans during the special additional registration period from June 1 to 10.

As long as both sides reach an agreement, including financial terms, Ronaldo can completely temporarily wear the shirt of another club participating in the FIFA Club World Cup, before signing an official contract with a new team for the 2025/26 season, or even Al Nassr if the two sides continue to cooperate.

At 40, Ronaldo is still 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 is still at a global level, not to mention his impressive professional ability. "The scenario of Messi facing Ronaldo in the US is very much supported by FIFA," wrote Marca .
