CRISTIANO RONALDO is reportedly unhappy after it was revealed to YouTuber IShowSpeed that he could play in the Club World Cup.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino confirmed discussions are underway to involve Ronaldo in the new-look tournament.
Ronaldo, 40, is out of contract at Al-Nassr at the end of the season but has been in negotiations to extend his stay.
It has also been claimed there are no plans for Ronaldo to leave on loan.
So Ronaldo’s representatives have expressed their disappointment over Infantino’s comments to IShowSpeed, according to The Athletic.
Infantino told the influencer: “Ronaldo might play for one of the teams as well at the Club World Cup.

They will compete against Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich alongside England’s two representatives – Manchester City and Chelsea.
