Al Nassr forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has hinted that he could end up playing alongside Lionel Messi before their careers are over.

Ronaldo’s future with the Saudi Pro League team is uncertain, with his current contract set to expire June 30.

The 40-year-old could leave Al Nassr and one of his options could be the Major Soccer League, MLS, in the United States.

Ahead of Portugal’s Nations League final clash with Spain, Ronaldo told reporters: “You know I have a lot of affection for Argentina, my wife is from there.

“I have already been invited to play in the Club World Cup for an Argentine club. You never know… the time is there.

“I am already 40 years old, but you never know. But I think it is very difficult. I have never been to Argentina, I want to go, I have a lot of affection for the Argentines.”

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
