Earlier in the week, it was reported that Ronaldo’s Al Nassr could face Inter Miami in a friendly match in February 2024, which will see the Portuguese take on his long-term rival Lionel Messi again.

However, to many football fans’ disappointment, Inter Miami has denied the report.

A statement from the MLS club read: “Earlier today, an announcement was issued stating that Inter Miami CF is scheduled to play in the Riyadh Season Cup. This is inaccurate.

“The release included statements attributed to team owner Jorge Mas. Mas has made no comments, publicly or privately, in relation to the pre-season tour.”

It continued: “Since day one, Inter Miami CF has set out to be a global brand. To this end, we have been in conversations to determine our 2024 preseason schedule.

“We look forward to showcasing our players on Inter Miami CF’s first international tour which will be announced in the coming weeks.”
