Cristiano Ronaldo says he’s almost certain he will not be playing at the Club World Cup. It deals a blow to FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s hopes of having one of soccer’s biggest attractions at the tournament starting June 14.

The 40-year-old's Al Nassr contract expires on June 30 and FIFA president Infantino had suggested he might move ahead of the tournament.

(Reuters) -Al-Nassr and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo said on Saturday he did not plan to play at the Club World Cup in the United States, despite being courted by clubs participating in the expanded 32-team tournament.
