There has been plenty of speculation to suggest that Portuguese superstar Ronaldo could join eternal rival Lionel Messi at that tournament, with the Argentine icon set to compete for a global crown as part of the squad at MLS side Inter Miami.

As things stand, Ronaldo is set to sit out Club World Cup duty as Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr have not qualified. CR7 is, however, approaching the end of his record-breaking contract in the Middle East.

He has admitted that the time may have come for a new challenge to be taken on, at 40 years of age. Ronaldo has been linked with teams from Europe and South America that are heading to the Club World Cup.

Transfer expert Nicolo Schira is now reporting that “Monterrey have shown interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo for Fifa Club World Cup”. It is claimed that said deal has “the support of his former team-mate and friend Sergio Ramos, who has promoted and sponsored CR7 to the Mexican club”.

Ronaldo spent nine years playing alongside World Cup winner Ramos at Santiago Bernabeu. The Portugal international forward won two La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns as a team-mate of the legendary Spanish centre-half.
