Cristiano Ronaldo broke silence on his future with Al Nassr and participation in the Club World Cup after the UEFA Nations League victory.
According to New York Post, after winning the historic second Nations League title for Portugal, the five-time Ballon d'Or award winner unveiled his future plans.
The 40-year-old has shut down all the rumours regarding transfer ahead of the Al Nassr contract expiry and FIFA Club World Cup.
‘Nothing is going to change’
Following Portugal’s thrilling victory over the defending champions Spain on the weekend, former Real Madrid and Manchester United star told reporters, “Practically nothing is going to change.”
When asked if he meant about his future with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, he replied, “Yes.”
As his contract with the club is due to expire on June 30, there were speculations that he might move to any other team on a short-term contract to participate in the upcoming Club World Cup, all set to begin on Saturday.
The rumours were fuelled by the current FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, after he hinted that CR7 might join a team at the mega event after Al Nassr failed to qualify for the World Cup.
The Portuguese striker also addressed these rumours, saying, “You can’t go to everything. I’ve pretty much made up my mind not to go to the Club World Cup.”
For the unversed, Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in 2022 after leaving Manchester United. So far with the club, he has scored 74 goals and won two Saudi Pro League Golden Boot awards.
