Cristiano Ronaldo is back at Real Madrid. This time, not as a club player, but with President Florentino Pérez’s authorization to use the facilities at CT de Valdebebas while preparing for the rest of the season. He is the club’s top scorer and has won four Champions Leagues wearing his shirt, but a return is not part of the plans.
At the age of 37, the Portuguese star was eliminated from the World Cup in the quarterfinals and is without a club. His name was involved in transfer possibilities, with the move to Al-Nassr, from Saudi Arabia, having gained strength recently. He has yet to sign any contract, according to international media.
It was the newspaper Relevo, from Spain, that initially pointed out that CR7 was training at Real Madrid. Subsequently, other vehicles confirmed the information. He was at CT accompanied by his son and did a job in a different field than the main team was carrying out activities.
Cristiano also did not stop by to talk to former teammates – the Portuguese was commanded by Carlo Ancelotti and knows other cast members, such as Benzema, Kroos and Carvajal.
The Portuguese star lived an atypical second half of his career. First, he was relegated to the Manchester United bench and fell out with the entire club after statements on the “Piers Morgan Uncensored” programme.
For Portugal, the World Cup followed a similar path: CR7 lost the title after complaining about coach Fernando Santos in a substitution and went to the bench in the matches of the round of 16 and quarterfinals, against Switzerland and Morocco, respectively.
