The FIFA Club World Cup Mini-Transfer Window

Teams playing in the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) 2025 have a 10-day mini transfer open window that started from June 1st to June 10th. The transfer window is opening earlier than usual to provide teams with enough time to decide which talent they can add to their squad before they square it off in America.

Possible & Sealed Transfers

Clubs can also use an in-tournament period after the group stages, between 27th June and 3rd July, to sign more players. This will make the event a sports betting online sensation for fans across the world.

Real Madrid has already secured Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool. They will also have Dean Huijsen after reaching a deal with Bournemouth. Chelsea is on the verge of signing Liam Delap from Ipswich.

Man City are on the market looking for a no. 10 after the departure of Kevin De Bruyne with Morgan Gibbs-White and Dani Olmo being the possible replacements. Tijani Reijnders of AC Milan is another prospective center midfielder for City, who are also looking to strengthen the full-back position. However, City appears not to be in a rush to sign anyone in this mini-transfer market.

United’s need to sell this summer has been well documented, and Bruno’s trade will involve a big transfer fee. Al Hilal has expressed their interest in signing Man United’s Bruno Fernandes, who indicated of leaving the EPL giants after the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham. There is an understandable dread among Man United fans if Fernandes is sold to the Saudi Pro League club. However, the head coach, Ruben Amorim, has insisted he is keeping the midfielder for another season.

Is Ronaldo vs. Messi Possible?

Christiano is still on the move even as FIFA is keen to organize a star-studded show in the United States. After indicating that his chapter at the Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr has come to an end, Ronaldo might use the 10-day mini-transfer window to join a side that will play at the CWC.

Featuring Ronaldo in the event will be a major boost for the organizers as he might face off against his rival Messi, who is playing for Inter Miami. This will be a good opportunity for Betway fans to revive the old football rivalry in Europe. It is the hope of organizers and fans that the best two footballers of our age will get to meet again at a major world-class tournament.

Brazilian side Botafogo, who are participants in Group B of the CWC, are willing to sign Ronaldo for a short-term contract. If successful, Ronaldo will face old rivals PSG and Atletico Madrid. With the new format of the CWC being held every 4 years, this could be the last one for Ronaldo at his age.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino hinted in an interview of some discussions with clubs interested in hiring Ronaldo for the CWC. There are also talks among Major League Soccer (MLS) teams about signing Ronaldo. So, chances of Ronaldo vs. Messi are very possible, either in the CWC, the MLS, or both.

Final Thoughts

The CWC mini-transfer window can go down in history as one of the best, because of a possible Ronaldo vs. Messi at a world-class tournament. Even without Ronaldo, the mini-transfer window will provide all teams a chance to make their squads very competitive, and the betting experience on Betway interesting.
