Cristiano Ronaldo is almost certain he won't play at the Club World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo says he's almost certain he will not be playing at the Club World Cup, dealing a blow to FIFA president Gianni Infantino's hopes of having one of soccer's biggest attractions at the tournament. The Portugal star confirmed Saturday that he received "quite a few' offers from participating clubs to play for them at the tournament starting June 14, but had decided against accepting any of them. "Some things make sense to talk about, other things don't, and, as a person says, you can't take part in everything,' Ronaldo said. Portugal coach Roberto Martinez gestures as Cristiano Ronaldo leaves the pitch after being substituted by Joao Palhinha, right during the Nations League semifinal match. AP "You have to think about the short, medium and long term. It's a decision practically made on my part not to go to the Club World Cup, but I've had quite a few invitations to go.' Ronaldo was speaking in Munich a day before Portugal's Nations League final against Spain. "This is irrelevant right now,' Ronaldo said when first asked about the Club World Cup. "It makes no sense to talk about anything other than the national team.' Associated Press

Saudi-based Ronaldo says he won't play in Club World Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed he would not play in the upcoming Club World Cup on Saturday, dismissing rumours he was set to transfer to one of the participating clubs. Speaking ahead of Sunday's Nations League final against Spain in Munich, the Portugal captain said suggestions he was set to take part in the newly expanded competition were wide of the mark. "I will not be at the Club World Cup," the Portugal veteran said, but added he had "been contacted" by several participating teams. Ronaldo came into Nations League in Germany amid swirling doubts about his future at club level, with the veteran's contract at Saudi side Al Nassr set to expire at the end of June. In May, the Portuguese posted on social media "the chapter is over" as reports emerged he could switch to another club, potentially Saudi side Al Hilal, one of the teams who will be at the tournament in the United States in June. Ronaldo said he was not interested in making a short-term decision which would allow him to play in the competition. "Some teams reached out to me. Some made sense and others did not, but you can't try and do everything, you can't catch every ball." The forward said the decision on his future was "almost final". Saudi Arabia
