As a football legend, 39-year-old Ronaldo still maintains his persistent pursuit of the championship. Recently, whether he can appear in the first Club World Cup after the reorganization in 2025 has become the focus. FIFA President Infantino announced in an interview that Ronaldo is discussing transfers with some participating teams in the Club World Cup, so Portuguese superstars may participate in the Club World Cup.

But as soon as this statement came out, it immediately attracted a counterattack from Ronaldo's team. They believed that Ronaldo is currently continuing to renew the contract with Riyadh, and of course there may be other choices in the future. In this sensitive period, as the chairman of FIFA, he really disrespects Ronaldo to say such words. Ronaldo's contract with Riyadh to expire on June 30, 2025, and Riyadh's victory did not qualify for the Club World Cup.

is for participating in the competition, Ronaldo needs to join a participating team in a short period of time. FIFA has set up a special "special transfer window" (June 1-10) to allow players to sign contracts in a short period of time and are not subject to the restrictions of "playing for three clubs in a single season". This policy opens the door for Ronaldo. He can participate in the competition through loan or free transfer, and then decides where he will go after the event.

At present, Ronaldo's suitors are spread across three continents. Recently, many teams that are qualified for the Club World Cup, including Africa and the Americas, have publicly expressed their interest in Ronaldo. Although Ronaldo remains efficient in the Saudi league (74 goals and 18 assists in two years), doubts about his physical condition in mainstream European leagues have not yet subsided. Although Infantino vigorously promoted the Club World Cup, he also emphasized the need to balance the player's welfare and the density of the game. For Ronaldo, although short-term joining can realize his dream, if he performs poorly, it may further affect his reputation in his career.

Infantino defined the Club World Cup as a "flagship event parallel to the World Cup" and said it "will show the highest level of club football." However, from Infantino's words, it can be seen that he is very much looking forward to the business effect brought by Melo's joint participation. However, as a super giant in football, Ronaldo also has very strict requirements for his last stop in his career and cannot make a random conclusion on the qualification to participate in the Club World Cup.

C Ronaldo can still participate in the Club World Cup, but his old teammate Magic Di has already confirmed to leave Real Madrid after the Club World Cup. Let us pay tribute to this midfield magician together!
