Is Cristiano Ronaldo Returning to Play at the Santiago Bernabeu?

Real Madrid have reportedly extended an invitation to Cristiano Ronaldo and his Saudi Arabian team, Al-Nassr, to play at the grand opening of the newly renovated Santiago Bernabeu. The information comes from Arab journalist Saud Al-Sarami.

Although the exact inauguration date remains unspecified, it is anticipated to occur between June 2024 and early 2025. The Santiago Bernabeu's renovations have been underway for several years and they are almost done at this point.

Having left Real Madrid in 2018, Ronaldo did not have a farewell match for Los Blancos nor did he get to publicly announce his departure to the fans. The Portuguese sensation did return to the stadium once while he was a Juventus player to witness an El Clasico in 2021. However, fans are eager to see him grace the pitch in his iconic former home once again.

Florentino Perez reportedly wants Kylian Mbappe to sign up with Real Madrid this summer so that he can pit the Frenchman against Ronaldo in the iconic inauguration game at the New Bernabeu.

If this happens, Will we see Ronaldo playing a half in the Al-Nassr jersey and the other in a Real Madrid jersey? Let me know your thoughts...
