Ronaldo says Klub World Cup: A chapter closes, what now?
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has liked to have the famous football player Cristiano Ronaldo participating in the upcoming club World Championship in the past. But now this wish seems to remain unfulfilled. Ronaldo "almost finally" canceled his participation in this important tournament how he announced on the eve of the National League final between Portugal and Spain in Munich. Despite the "sufficient offer" of various participant associations, including interested clubs from Argentina, Ronaldo remains skeptical.
The latest development around Ronaldo's career could be decisive for this cancellation. Before the National League final, he announced that he wants to take part in the club world championship, which takes place in the United States between June 14 and July 13, 2025. This decision follows his recent hints of a possible farewell from the Saudi club Al-Nassr, where he has been active since January 2023. On Instagram he announced: "This chapter is over. The story? It will continue to be written."
future prospects and career questions
The uncertainty about his future remains. Ronaldo said that he currently has no concrete plans and enjoyed his career every day. He emphasized that he was happy and lived with the present. When asked how long he would like to play, the superstar could not give a precise answer and kept his options open.
The club world championship, a tournament with a long story, will be held in the USA this summer from mid-June to mid-July. In addition to Ronaldo, two German clubs, FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, will also take part in the prestigious competition. The participants have to submit their final player list by June 10, 2025.
transfer window and regulations
Interestingly, the regular transfer phase for the football clubs will begin on July 1, 2025, while the World Cup is already underway. Therefore, the FIFA opened an additional mini transfer window from June 1 to 10, 2025 to enable transfers before the start of the tournament. During the tournament, further transfers will also be possible from July 1st. Clubs must note that players can only play for a team during the tournament.For many, including Ronaldo, the decision about the next career station remains exciting. Despite numerous inquiries and offers, there are currently no clear steps for the football star. The football world is now looking forward to the developments and how Ronaldo's career will continue.
