Since this year you can play against other players across platforms in FIFA 23. However, one of the modes that would benefit the most from this feature has not received it: Pro Clubs.
After a huge outcry from the community and numerous posts using the hashtag #saveProClubs, EA Sports confirmed that they were working on implementing crossplay in Pro Clubs mode, but couldn't give an exact timeframe.
I share your desire to see cross-play in Pro Clubs, and understand the frustrations for not seeing it included in the launch of FIFA 23. While we're excited with the first steps to bring new cross-play features to FIFA 23, we also recognize what cross-play functionality could mean to the Pro Clubs mode with the potential for improving matchmaking and allowing friends from different platforms of the same generation to play together. With the scale of such an important feature, our goal is to bring you the best possible experiences. As we look at our cross-play future, we’re focused on matchmaking in Pro Clubs, VOLTA, and FUT Co-op, as well as cross-platform lobby invites and ultimately cross-platform Pro Clubs. We’re eager to provide updates in the future as the team continues to execute the plan for the future of cross-play. We love the passion of our community, and you help strengthen our resolve to push the mode forward and to bring quality changes for you to enjoy as players.

Now, the reddit user Woodsduck has posted a screenshot on Reddit that suggests the feature is in the works. The screenshot shows the club squad, with icons next to the players that we only know from FUT: A controller and a PC.
We asked EA Sports about this, but they didn't want to comment.
Of course, it would be nice to see the mode integrated before EAFC, which is expected to be released in early autumn this year and will be sold without the FIFA brand for the first time.
What do you think? Is cross-play in the Pro Clubs on the horizon? And if so, how will it affect the mode and in particular the organised leagues?
