According to reports, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has offered Cristiano Ronaldo the chance to return to the club if he decides to leave Al Nassr, the Saudi Arabian club he currently plays for.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has offered Cristiano Ronaldo the chance to return to the club if he decides to leave Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
Ronaldo, who is 37 years old, moved to the Middle East after his contract with Manchester United was terminated following a controversial interview with Piers Morgan before the 2022 World Cup. If Ronaldo accepts Perez’s offer, he would be returning to the Santiago Bernabeu, where he netted 450 goals in just 438 appearances during his time at Los Blancos, winning 16 trophies in the process. However, Perez’s desire for Ronaldo to return to the club may not be fueled by his ability on the pitch, and the five-time Ballon d’Or winner may not be happy with the offer. It remains to be seen whether Ronaldo will accept Perez’s offer or continue playing for Al Nassr.
Ronaldo to return to Real Madrid?
While Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reportedly offered Cristiano Ronaldo the chance to return to the club, it is not for a playing role. According to reports from Defensa Central, Real Madrid would like Ronaldo to return as an ambassador for the club or to move into a coaching role, similar to former stars such as Raul, Alvaro Arbeloa, Guti, and Xabi Alonso.

The Real Madrid youth teams have a history of former stars starting their coaching careers in the lower age groups, and this could be an option for Ronaldo once he retires from playing. While it remains to be seen how long Ronaldo will stay at Al Nassr, reports suggest that he could leave the club soon. His wife, Georgina Rodriguez, is said to be keen on returning to Madrid, which could potentially lead to Ronaldo rejoining Real Madrid in some capacity.
