It was reported earlier this month that Ronaldo had already received a formal offer to play at the Club World Cup, where he could meet long-time foe Lionel Messi and Inter Miami, and FIFA president Gianni Infantino even shocked fans by admitting “there are discussions” over Ronaldo’s involvement at the tournament this summer.

The odds on Cristiano Ronaldo's next club have been slashed after his cryptic social media post. Ronaldo, 40, became the first big-name player to move to the Middle East after he signed for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr in 2023.

Ronaldo had two spells at Old Trafford, becoming a world-class player under Sir Alex Ferguson between 2003 and 2009 before returning in August 2021. The second stint ended in tears, with the Portuguese superstar ripping the club and everyone associated with it a new one.

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in January 2023 following his exit from Manchester United. Over the course of his tenure, he scored 99 goals in 105 matches, including 25 this season, which earned him the Golden Boot.
