"You know I have a lot of affection for Argentina, my wife is from there,” Ronaldo told the media ahead of Portugal's Nations League final clash with Spain.
"I have already been invited to play in the Club World Cup for an Argentine club. You never know… the time is there.
“I am already 40 years old, but you never know. But I think it is very difficult. I have never been to Argentina, I want to go, I have a lot of affection for the Argentines."
