Tuttosport report that Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to join Inter Milan for the chance to play in the Club World Cup this summer.
Sky Sports UK reported last week that Ronaldo could leave Al-Nasr when his contract expires in June or use the transfer window earlier in the month to join a club that is eligible to compete in the Club World Cup.
Although Sky Sports UK did not mention Inter directly, the outlet has speculated that the Serie A champions could be one of the destinations for the Portuguese, who spent three years at Juventus.
Juventus and Inter are the two Serie A sides taking part in the competition this summer, while Al-Nasr are not eligible.
Sky Sports say that FIFA wants Ronaldo to take part in the tournament and he could be interested in joining a club that is aiming to win the trophy.
However, Tuttosport suggests that Inter president Beppe Marotta, who was CEO of Juventus when Ronaldo joined in 2018, is not in favour of the deal.
“I am not in agreement with the deal at all,” Marotta said สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ a few months ago.
“The player’s talent is beyond doubt, but financially it is a very big deal.”
Former Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici is known to have played a key role in the negotiations between Real Madrid and Ronaldo in July 2018, which led to Marotta’s departure from Juventus a few months later.
Tuttosport concludes that a Ronaldo move to Inter, even for a short period of time for the Club World Cup, is unlikely, ending the article with the message: “Let’s get back to reality.”
