Several media outlets have pointed out that Rayados would be one of the clubs interested in Cristiano for the World Cup. However, no one from the Sultana del Norte has spoken about the issue.
The player has also not reacted to Infantino's speculation on his social media channels.
It is unclear why a FIFA president would speculate on a player transfer, although Infantino has close ties to the Saudi state, which will host the 2034 World Cup and effectively controls Ronaldo's contract.
