Real Madrid brutally ended Cristiano Ronaldo's 'transfer dream' to force Al-Nassr deal

Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly had a dream return to former club Real Madrid scuppered before his move to Al-Nassr was confirmed.

The Portuguese forward’s switch to the Saudi outfit was announced on Friday evening. He penned a deal worth in the region of £173m per year after his explosive exit from Manchester United earlier this month.

Speaking after his switch was announced, Ronaldo said: "I’m thrilled for a new experience in a different league and a different country, the vision that Al Nassr has is very inspiring. I am very excited to join my teammates, to help the team to achieve more success."
