We can dream, can’t we? The likelihood of that happening probably is a longshot. A few dominos would need to fall the right way to make it happen. First of all, the 40-year-old Portuguese superstar would need to sign with one of the 32 teams in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, and then either play Messi’s Inter Miami CF team in the group stage or in the knockout round. Like we said, a longshot. There is a nightmare scenario that FIFA faces if any 11th-hour signing, especially Ronaldo’s, is not not correctly. It appears Ronaldo’s days with Al-Nassr, are numbered. He has been in contract negotiations with his Saudi Arabian club for months, but they apparently have gone nowhere. On Monday night, Ronaldo indicated that he was finished with Al-Nassr, for whom he has played since 2022. “This chapter is over,” he said on social media. “The story? Still being written. Grateful to all.” His contract with the club runs through the end of June.
