That went well
Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants to leave Al Nassr less than a year after joining.
Ronaldo moved to the Middle East after agreeing to terminate his contract at Manchester United in November after his damning interview with Piers Morgan.
The 38-year-old subsequently agreed two-year deal worth £175m-a-year but after only 13 appearances (in which he has scored 12 goals), is already looking for a move away.
El Nacional have claimed that the Portugal international has been offered the chance to return to Real Madrid, albeit in a non-playing role as a club ambassador.
They said: “Florentino Perez has guaranteed that [Ronaldo] will not lack work at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“But, obviously, he wouldn’t do it to be a player, because he considers that it is a cycle that should be considered closed.”
Georgina Rodriguez, Ronaldo’s partner, is also said to be hoping for a return to the Spanish capital, where the couple first met.
Ronaldo is one of Los Blancos’ greatest-ever players having scored 451 goals in 438 appearances.
During his time at the LaLiga side he won: four Champions League’s, three Club World Cups and UEFA Super Cups apiece, two LaLiga titles, a pair of Copas del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups.
