After considering several offers, Ronaldo chose to skip the tournament and has since committed to signing a new deal with Al-Nassr.
"I don’t know how the rumour spread," Ait-Menna revealed.
"But yes, I did reach out to one of his agents about three-and-a-half or four months ago, asking: ‘Would he want to play the Club World Cup?’ He replied, ‘Listen, I don’t think so.’"
