Is Ronaldo going back to Real Madrid? A number of people have taken to Google to ask this after spotting the 37-year-old training at Valdebebas in the Spanish capital.
The Portugal international departed Qatar after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Morocco in the World Cup quarter-finals.
After seeing his contract with Manchester United terminated while out in Qatar, many have wondered what comes next for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
So, is Ronaldo going back to Real Madrid? Let’s take a look…
Is Ronaldo going back to Real Madrid?
Well, it was Spanish news outlet Relevo who revealed that Ronaldo is back training in Madrid.
However, as they have reported – in addition to Fabrizio Romano – the Portugal international is just there to maintain his fitness ahead of the next chapter in his career.
SPORT in Spain believe Ronaldo has actually offered his services to Real Madrid as he looks for a new club.
Unfortunately for those hoping to see CR7 back at the Santiago Bernabeu, the Spanish giants rejected that opportunity.
It is said that Florentino Perez – President of Real Madrid – believes Ronaldo would only be required as a backup option to Karim Benzema, which he feels would cause disruption given the Portuguese forward’s desire to be the main man.
What team is Ronaldo going to in 2023?
It is unknown where Ronaldo will end up next, although strong reports have linked him to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

Spanish news outlet Marca believe he has agreed a two-and-a-half year contract with Al-Nassr, where he will earn €200m (£172m) per season.
However, when asked about this during the World Cup, Ronaldo poured cold water on the rumour, stating that it is not true.
