Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has posted a cryptic message about his future, which has led many fans to believe his exit from Saudi Arabia.
This comes after FIFA President Gianni Infantino said discussions were taking place for Ronaldo to play at the Club World Cup.
Speaking last week, Infantino said: “Ronaldo might play for one of the teams as well at the Club World Cup.
“There are discussions with some clubs, so if any club is watching and is interested in hiring Ronaldo for the Club World Cup; who knows, who knows.”
Ronaldo currently plays for Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, who failed to qualify for FIFA’s expanded 32-team tournament this summer in the USA.
The 40-year-old forward is out of contract this summer and would need to be released from his deal early to sign for a club competing in the Club World Cup, which begins on June 14.
