Al Hilal chief executive Esteve Calzada has insisted there was no truth to suggestions they could sign Cristiano Ronaldo to play at this summer’s Club World Cup.
Ronaldo’s current employers, Al Nassr, did not qualify for the tournament, which features old foe Lionel Messi and Inter Miami. It was strongly suggested that Ronaldo, whose contract expires this summer, could join a team solely for the purpose of featuring in the Club World Cup before resolving his long-term future later in the summer.
