Ronaldo visits Real Madrid training

Al-Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted the moment he reunited with Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti and legendary Roberto Carlos.

Incredible footage shows how the trio shared a special moment at the Real Madrid training facility in Saudi Arabia.

Los Blancos are in Riyadh for the Super Cup, as they beat Valencia via penalties to set up a final showdown with arch-rivals Barcelona.

Arabian Business reports that the event is organised by the Saudi ministry of sports as part of the sporting events of the 2022 Diriyah season in its second edition.

Saudi Arabia is hosting the Spanish Super Cup for the third time in a row and Ronaldo who is based in town quickly made time out to visit his former team.

Al-Nassr clarifies Ronaldo's contract

Sports Brief earlier reported that Al-Nassr have clarified the details of their contract with Ronaldo, denying claims his deal involves helping with Saudi Arabia's 2030 World Cup bid.

The Portuguese star signed a lucrative deal with the Riyadh-based side after a tumultuous end to his Man United career, and many rumours have been circulating about his huge contract.

It was first alleged that there was a clause allow the veteran striker to return to the Premier League, if Newcastle qualified for the UEFA Champions League.
