Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has announced he will not take part in this month’s FIFA Club World Cup, having declined offers from several participating teams. His contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr expires at the end of June, and he stated that a decision on his future is “almost final”, BBC reported.

Despite FIFA president Gianni Infantino's suggestion that Ronaldo may join another team for the tournament, the forward responded, "You can't catch every ball." Al-Nassr is confident about extending his contract, having scored 99 goals in 111 outings since joining the club in 2023.

Ronaldo recently secured Portugal’s place in the UEFA Nations League final by scoring the winning goal against Germany, according to BBC.
