VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo on the move?! FIFA president Gianni Infantino tells IShowSpeed CR7 could make shock transfer in bizarre YouTube show appearance to promote Club World Cup

<p>Giving a bizarre interview on the IShowSpeed YouTube channel, Infantino was attempting to promote the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/club-world-cup-evolution/bltb834a4985be5f6c3" target="_blank">Club World Cup being held in the United States this summer</a>. The FIFA President was questioned by the Ronaldo-fanatic streamer about the prospect of the Portuguese forward playing in the tournament, which Infantino suggested could be possible. He added that there have been discussions already between clubs in the tournament and Ronaldo about a potential move.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAWtMLCCoXE" target="_blank">In the video</a>, Infantino says: "Cristiano Ronaldo might play for one of the teams as well. There are discussions with some clubs. So, if any clubs is watching are interested in hiring Ronaldo for the Club World Cup, who knows. There are still a few weeks."</p>

WATCH THE CLIP

<p>This expanded version of Club World Cup has been Infantino's project for a number of years. The promotion of the tournament has had mixed success, however, and the tournament was only saved by a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/fifa-agrees-to-club-world-cup-broadcast-rights-with-dazn-free-for-viewers/blt7abbca145793236f#cs51f4f98b281989d7" target="_blank">$1 billion deal struck with broadcaster DAZN</a> to showcase the games. The appetite for the tournament still remains rather small, despite the presence of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/club-world-cup-2025-draw-what-you-need-to-know-about-every-club-to-qualify-for-fifa-s-marquee-tournament-in-the-united-states/blt4068b1e530a02613" target="_blank">some of the world's biggest clubs and players</a>, and Infantino is seeking to boost the hype before it kicks off next month - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-goodbye-al-nassr-gesture-fans-worried-exit-rumours/bltc110e5a53f90ecee" target="_blank">even jumping on Ronaldo exit rumours</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Portuguese captain <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-suggests-could-play-another-ten-years-40-year-old-al-nassr-superstar-learns-physiological-age/blt4109760286098cf1" target="_blank">will no doubt fancy himself to perform and excel at the Club World Cup</a>, but he will have to find a team participating to take a chance on him. Perhaps with Infantino's sway, he could end up competing for yet another trophy to add to his collection.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO?
