At the end of 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo he officially became a Saudi player in Al-Nassr., after long negotiations and groping, becoming the highest paid athlete. But the dream of the Portuguese was completely different.

Cristiano Ronaldo and the dream of returning to Real

In 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo made a decision, the consequences of which were not as expected. The Portuguese signed a divorce from Madrid “Real”, but did not suspect that nothing would be as before. The successes achieved in the blanco outfit, individual and collective, will not return, writes Marca.

Time passed, and the attacker dreamed of returning to Spain, but it did not occur to the leaders of Madrid. The CR7 chapter closed for good in 2018, and dreams remain unfulfilled.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s possible return to Real Madrid has been hotly debated in recent weeks after he trained at the Spaniards’ training camp following Portugal’s elimination from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

After leaving Juventus in 2021 and the arrival of coach Carlo Ancelotti in Madrid, a return to the past seemed possible when relations with the blano club were normalized. But Ronaldo ended up signing for Manchester United, another comeback that ended in failure.

Madrid long ago made a strategic decision against the interests of Ronaldo, but with strong arguments such as the atmosphere in the dressing room and the unity of the group of players.

And Carlo Ancelotti was as frank as possible a week ago: “We don’t need reinforcements in the winter transfer window.”

But as dreams do not always coincide with reality, Cristiano Ronaldo is already a player of Al-Nassr.
