  • Real Madrid has indicated they are not interested in reuniting with former forward Cristiano Ronaldo
  • Ronaldo is said to want to leave Al-Nassr after just four months in Saudi Arabia
  • The Portugal icon completed a stunning move to Al-Nassr in January after terminating his deal with Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo’s desire to once again play for Real Madrid might not become a reality after the reigning La Liga champions distanced themselves from the rumour.

The 37-year-old is rumoured to be seeking a move away from the Middle East just four months after joining Saudi Arabia’s top club Al-Nassr in a mega deal in January.

According to the Daily Mirror, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez believes acquiring Ronaldo will not benefit the club’s sporting project and has therefore ruled out making a move for the forward.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner and his partner Georgina Rodriguez are both keen to return to Madrid, where they met before he moved to Juventus.

Ronaldo remains a Real Madrid icon after scoring a scarcely believable 450 goals in 438 first-team appearances for Los Blancos, winning four Champions League trophies.

Ronaldo wants Al Nassr exit

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Al-Nassr after just four months in Saudi Arabia following the forward’s recent struggles in the Saudi Pro League, 90MIN reports.

Ronaldo has scored once in his last four appearances for the Saudi Arabian club and has yet to score in six of his previous nine.

Coincidentally, a decline in results for Al-Nassr following Ronaldo’s arrival in January has seen the club lose the top spot in the league and elimination from the Saudi Arabian Cup.

Ronaldo visit hospital for daughter’s operation

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez were spotted in a hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for their daughter's operation.

This marks another personal challenge for Ronaldo, who had previously lost one of his twins last year.

The medical treatment has to do with her appendix. Nonetheless, as to which of Ronaldo's daughters has been admitted to the hospital remains unclear.
