Ronaldo returned to Real Madrid's training centre

This comes at a time when Ronaldo returned to Real Madrid's Valdebebas training centre as he continues his search for a new club.

Ronaldo, who departed Madrid four seasons ago, trained on a separate pitch as he puts himself through the paces, waiting for a new chapter in the twilight of his career.

The 37-year-old entered the 2022 World Cup as a free agent on the back of an explosive interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan, which led to the mutual termination of his contract with Manchester United.

Ronaldo closer to Al Nassr move

Sports Brief has also reported that Ronaldo is edging closer to completing his move to Saudi Arabia as Al-Nassr is said to have scheduled a medical for the 37-year-old Portugal star.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner left Manchester United in controversial circumstances after blasting the club in an explosive interview with Piers Morgan.

Al-Nassr have scheduled a medical, plus booked accommodation for Ronaldo and his advisors as they hope to seal a deal in January.
