Rumors suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo could join Lionel Messi at Inter Miami ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup on a short-term contract. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that these reports are false and there are no plans for Ronaldo to join Inter Miami this summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo was contemplating signing a short-term contract with a team competing in the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup, scheduled from June 14 to July 13 in the USA. Due to Al Nassr's lack of qualification for the tournament, Ronaldo was considering a move to Inter Miami, a club reportedly open to the prospect of having Ronaldo and Messi play side by side. With Messi and Sergio Busquets already occupying two of its three designated player slots, Inter Miami had the capacity to potentially sign Ronaldo.
