Major Update Emerges on Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo Possibly Teaming Up
Major Update Emerges on Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo Possibly Teaming Up originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There likely isn't a rivalry across sports that was as iconic as Lionel Messi during his time with FC Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo during his tenure with Real Madrid. Advertisement Two of the best players in the world routinely competing against one another for clubs who happen to hated rivals. Between the two of them they have 13 Ballon d'Or awards, nine Champions League trophies, thousands of goals and a debate regarding who is better that may never be settled. While it's been multiple years since they have faced off against one another, the possibility surfaced as CBS Sports reported that there has been a push for Ronaldo to play in the Club World Cup. The 32-club tournament is set to take place in the United States from June 14-July 13, and is the first rendition of the FIFA tournament. With Ronaldo's contract at Al-Nassr expiring at the end of June and him cryptically writing, "This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all." on X, many have begun to wonder where he will end up. With CBS reporting that multiple Brazilian clubs could be an option, the MLS' Inter Miami is also partcipating. The thought of Ronaldo and Messi going from rivals to teammates as their careers wind down would be one of the biggest plot-twists in sports history. However, according to Mike Ryan of the "Le Batard Show," it's not likely.

"They have this media rights package that's on DAZN here in this country, like 24 of the games on TNT. He wants this to be big this is the first Club World Cup and he wants the co-face of a generation Cristiano Ronaldo in it. Advertisement "So if he's pressuring all these clubs, one would wonder hey, Inter Miami is one of these clubs in the Club World Cup, might they have interest in potentially loaning Cristiano Ronaldo for just this tournament," Ryan said. "And perhaps form a super team of Messi and Cristiano." After teasing how monumental this would be, Ryan bluntly said "Inter Miami, no interest." While it would have been quite the spectacle, it's hard to imagine they'd put their rivalry aside. However, we may see them play against one another if Ronaldo does end up on one of the other 31 teams.

Inter Milan Reach Full Agreement With Cristian Chivu – Now Must Finalize Details Of Coach's Exit With Parma Inter Milan have agreed a contract with Cristian Chivu and are now finalizing the details of his exit from Parma. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the Romanian accepted the Nerazzurri's offer of a two-year deal in a meeting this afternoon. Advertisement Inter Milan have decided upon Cristian Chivu to be their new coach. The 44-year-old will replace Simone Inzaghi, who has left to join Al-Hilal. Inter had been working on snapping up Cesc Fabregas to become Inzaghi's successor. However, Como President Mirwan Suwarson strongly rebuffed the Nerazzurri's interest, and stated that the Lariani would refuse to release the Spaniard. Meanwhile, Genoa coach Patrick Vieira was another name reportedly on Inter's shortlist. Inter Milan Agree Contract With Cristian Chivu – Finalizing Departure From Parma MONZA, ITALY – MARCH 15: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of Parma Calcio, looks on prior to the Serie A match between Monza and Parma at U-Power Stadium on March 15, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by) Yesterday, Inter decided upon Cristian Chivu. The Romanian was a player for six years with the Nerazurri, before coaching the team at several youth levels. Advertisement Inter informed Chivu yesterday that they wanted to make him their new coach. Then, a meeting took place yesterday evening to work out the details of the 44-year-old's contract. That meeting did not quite result in a full agreement. Therefore, the parties held further talks today. However, these were successful, and so Chivu has agreed terms on a two-year deal to take over as Inter coach. This does not mean, though, that Inter have everything in place to bring Chivu in. The Nerazzurri still have some details to work out with the 44-year-old's current coach Parma. Therefore, they will work to finalize these in talks with the Emilian club today.

Stuttgart signs French right back Lorenz Assignon from Rennes
STUTTGART, Germany (AP) — Stuttgart has signed French right back Lorenz Assignon from Rennes for a reported fee of over 11 million euros ($12.6 million). The 24-year-old Assignon signed a contract through June 2029, the Bundesliga club said Friday. 'This is a club with a great tradition and fantastic fans,' Assignon told the club website . 'I've watched them a number of times on TV and I like the way they play. I'm relishing the challenge that lies ahead of me and want to play my part in the future success of VfB.' Assignon scored three goals in 32 league appearances for Rennes last season, when the team finished 12th. He previously played half a season on loan at Premier League side Burney under current Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany. 'With his ball skills and his energy levels, Lorenz is going to fit in very well with our playing style,' Stuttgart sporting director Christian Gentner said. 'Over the past few years, he has shown his qualities in Ligue 1 and in the Premier League and acquired some important experience.' Rennes is establishing a reputation for helping develop some of Europe's most exciting players, including Champions League winners Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé of Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona star Raphinha, Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga, and Jérémy Doku of Manchester City. Stuttgart won the German Cup this season but its Bundesliga campaign was affected by Champions League participation as it only finished ninth in the league. ___ AP soccer:
