Wydad Denies Ronaldo Talks Ahead of Club World Cup

Rumors linking Wydad Casablanca with a move for Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup have been denied by both the club president and insiders, following reports from Spanish media. Wydad officials affirmed that only informal discussions took place, without any official negotiations or intent to sign Ronaldo, citing financial limitations. Ronaldo’s contract with Al-Nassr expires this summer, leaving his future uncertain, though he remains the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League. Despite speculation, no concrete offers for Ronaldo have emerged. The updated Club World Cup format allows for flexible player signings, raising interest in high-profile players like Ronaldo and Messi, who are both expected to boost the tournament’s commercial appeal. However, Wydad has confirmed they will not pursue Ronaldo for the event.
