And the British newspaper “The Sun” reported that Cristiano Junior had officially returned to the Real Madrid Academy, noting that he previously played in the same academy during his father’s presence, before they left together to Juventus and then Manchester United.

The newspaper highlighted information reported by Spanish journalist Edo Kornago, stating that Cristiano Junior returned to Madrid on Tuesday, December 27, 2022, and is now looking forward to paving the way to the future himself.

The Madeira missile arrived in Spain, days after Portugal's exit from the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar against Morocco.
On that day, the Spanish newspaper “AS” reported that Cristiano had returned to Real Madrid, but not permanently, but for a few days, to close the door to any diligence or dream stating that the 37-year-old would return to play in the “Meringue” shirt again.
Termination of the contract between Ronaldo and Manchester United
On November 22, 2022, Manchester United announced the termination of Cristiano's contract, leaving the Portuguese star without a team until the winter transfer window opened at the beginning of next month.
Numerous European reports indicate that the "Madeira missile" is close to signing a contract to join the Saudi Al-Nasr team, in an amazing deal under which he will receive an annual wage of 200 million euros.
Ronaldo Sr. defended the colors of the Real Madrid shirt between 2009 and 2018, participated in 438 matches in all tournaments, scored 450 goals and provided 131 assists.
He also won many titles with Real Madrid, most notably the Spanish League on two occasions, the European Champions League 4 times, and the Club World Cup 3 times.
