Inter Miami are eyeing to sign Al-Nassr's forward Cristiano Ronaldo on a short-term deal that would unite him with Lionel Messi. According to talkSPORT, Ronaldo is keen on playing the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Lionel Messi's Inter Miami to sign Cristiano Ronaldo
Inter Miami are one of the 32 teams that will take part in the FIFA Club World Cup as the winners of the event will take home a whopping $125 million. Inter Miami are placed in Group A alongside Porto, Al-Ahly and Palmeiras. The tournament is all set to take place in United States between June 14 and July 13.
Ronaldo is currently playing in the Saudi Pro League for Al-Nassr. His contract will expire at the end of the season and he has reportedly agreed to sign a one-year extension on his current contract.
However, Ronaldo is interested in signing a short-term deal with a club that will feature in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. This has paved the way for Dvaid Beckham and Inter Miami to make a bold move in the transfer window as the team looks to reunite two of the greatest footballers of this era.
Inter Miami would be able to afford Ronaldo's high wages as the Portugal international earns £3.18 million per week at Al-Nassr.
How have Messi and Ronaldo fared in FIFA Club World Cup?
Lionel Messi will be featuring in his fourth FIFA Club World Cup tournament in his illustrious career. He has bagged five goals and one assist in the five matches that he has played in the tournament. He represented Barcelona thrice in three different editions (2010, 2012 and 2016). He won all those three tournaments.
On the other hand, Ronaldo is looking to sign for a club that will feature in FIFA Club World Cup. He has seven goals and three assists in eight appearances across four different editions (2009, 2015, 2017 and 2018). The forward won all four editions, three with Real Madrid and one with Manchester United.
