Real Madrid president Florentino Perez previously insisted Cristiano Ronaldo would return to Real Madrid one day, despite scoffing at the idea of a move in 2022.
Ronaldo left the Bernabeu in 2018, joining Juventus in a club record deal, and spent three years in Turin before returning to former club Manchester United. A second spell in Madrid was also mooted last year, as Ronaldo prepared to leave Old Trafford, only for Los Blancos to pass on a move.
The veteran is now at Al-Nassr, signing a big-money deal with the Saudi club. He has been urged to return to Europe, though, bringing Perez's past comments into focus.
