Cristiano Ronaldo says he will not play at Club World Cup after rejecting offers

But first, Cristiano Ronaldo has said he will not be at the Club World Cup this summer, despite having offers from teams competing in the tournament. Ronaldo had been linked with a move away from Alnassa after they missed out on qualification. Ronaldo's contract with the club currently expires at the end of the month. FIFA president Gianni Infantino had raised the possibility of a last-minute signing for Ronaldo. This is irrelevant right now. It makes no sense to talk about anything other than the national team. But yes, some teams have reached out to me. Some things make sense, others don't make sense. And you can't catch every single ball. I have made a decision. It's almost final. I will not be at the Club World Cup, but I was contacted. Well, how about this? Could Ronaldo play alongside his great rival Lionel Messi? Ronaldo revealed he had received offers from Argentine clubs to play in the Club World Cup. And while Messi will represent Inter Miami, Ronaldo said you can never say never. Your wife is from Argentina. And of course, not to mention Lionel Messi in this conversation. Oh, come on. The question is, up until now, it was always Cristiano against Messi, up until now. But never Cristiano and Messi. You've never played together. Don't you think that one of your challenges would be to play a game with Messi? See how it feels? Well, boludo, it's an insult. It's a funny insult in Argentina. And you know I feel a lot of affection for Argentina because my wife is from Argentina. So how can you not have a special affection towards Argentina? I've had invitations to play the Club World Cup with Argentina. So you never know. Time is there. I'm 40. But like I say, never say never. I don't know if you say this in Spanish. We don't say don't. I will never drink from this water. It's a saying. But that's all I can say. I like Argentina a lot. I've been to Argentina. I want to go again. I have a special relationship with Argentina. But really, no. And I really feel a lot of affection towards Messi. We've been rivals for many, many years. But I've already said in a couple of interviews that we are at the top stage for 15 years. I don't know if he speaks a little bit of English. But he didn't speak English before. And I used to interpret. During the gala, what was going on, etc. I really like him very much. Because he always treated me nicely. He always respected me. But you never know. I see that. I see it's going to be difficult to play together. But is it over? Oh, OK.
