Cristiano Ronaldo refuses to rule out Real Madrid return as he says it was the ‘best time’ of his career

Cristiano Ronaldo has said that he would like to return to Real Madrid in some fashion, but only when his playing days are over.

Ronaldo spent nearly a decade at the Bernabeu, scoring 451 times in 438 games for the Spanish giants.

He won four Champions League titles with the club and received the Ballon d’Or prize four times during his time there.

The global superstar left for Juventus in 2018 before rejoining Manchester United three years later.

The homecoming didn’t quite go to plan and he secured a big money move to Al-Nassr, becoming the highest paid footballer in the world.

However, he has refused to rule out a return to Madrid in some way or another once he hangs up his boots.

In an interview with Spanish journalist Eduardo Aguirre, he said: ‘maybe something can happen after the end of my career.’

‘At Real Madrid, it was the best time in terms of football,’ the 39-year-old continued.

Ronaldo has kept up his prolific goals coring form this season, netting 21 goals in 24 appearances for Al-Nassr.

His side remain eight points adrift of leaders Al-Hilal, who claimed the title last season.
