Recent speculation about Cristiano Ronaldo potentially leaving Al-Nassr to participate in the Club World Cup with Inter Milan has been largely dismissed as unrealistic. While some media outlets suggested the possibility of such a move, industry insiders and club officials view it as highly improbable.

Sky Sports UK initially reported that Ronaldo might exit Al-Nassr at the end of his contract in June or utilize a special transfer window to join a Club World Cup participant. Although Inter Milan was not explicitly mentioned, some media sources speculated about the Serie A champions as a potential destination for the Portuguese star.

Inter Milan, along with Juventus, will represent Serie A in the upcoming Club World Cup. The tournament has sparked interest due to its new format and the potential involvement of high-profile players like Ronaldo.

However, Inter Milan’s President, Beppe Marotta, who previously worked at Juventus during Ronaldo’s signing, has expressed reservations about such deals in the past. Marotta once stated, “I didn’t fully agree with it. While the player’s quality is undeniable, it was a financially demanding arrangement.”

It’s worth noting that Marotta’s departure from Juventus shortly after Ronaldo’s arrival was partly attributed to disagreements over the transfer strategy. The deal was primarily orchestrated by then-sporting director Fabio Paratici.

Italian sports daily Tuttosport has further reinforced the unlikelihood of Ronaldo joining Inter, even temporarily for the Club World Cup. Their report concludes by suggesting that such speculation belongs more in the realm of fantasy than reality.

As it stands, the notion of Cristiano Ronaldo donning an Inter Milan shirt for the Club World Cup remains a highly improbable scenario, despite the initial buzz created by various media reports.
