FIFA would have Cristiano Ronaldo as a "trump card" to boost the ticket sales of the Super Club World Cup, which already features Lionel Messi.

The situation of the Portuguese star at Al-Nassr is closely monitored by the entity, which would like to have CR7 playing for a team that will compete in the tournament starting on June 14 in the United States.

This is highlighted by the investigation of Ryan Mitchell, from Marca.

Al-Nassr has been collecting frustrations in recent weeks. This is what gives such "hope" to FIFA.

The defeat to Benzema's Al-Ittihad last Wednesday (7) left the team 11 points behind the rival - who is the leader - with 12 points left to play for in the Saudi League.

A result that came after the surprising fall in the Asian Champions semi-finals to Japan's Kawasaki Frontale - who would be runner-up to Firmino's Al-Ahli.

The risk of ending the season without a spot in the next Asian Champions is real, something that could change the renewal plans.

At this moment, Al-Nassr is the fourth place in the Saudi Pro League with 60 points. Al-Ittihad (71), Al-Hilal (65) and Al-Ahli (61) are taking the three spots. There is also Aubameyang's Al-Qadsiah in the competition (59).

At 40 years old, CR7 had very advanced talks to extend his contract for two more seasons - until June 2027. The current one will end on June 30.

Something that is no longer seen as something "lined up", as highlighted by As last week.

Al-Nassr's 2024/2025 also had a runner-up in the Saudi Super Cup and a fall in the round of 16 of the Saudi King's Cup.

Remember that FIFA has created a window for signings for the World Cup. Which will open on June 1 and goes until the 10th of the same month.

Will we have Robozão and Messi competing in the same tournament?
