- Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training ground.
- Florentino Perez permitted Ronaldo to use the training facility
- He is without a club after Mutually Terminating his contract with Manchester United
Following his departure from Manchester United a little less than a month ago, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted working out at his former team, Real Madrid’s Training Facility.
Ronaldo spent nine years at the Santiago Bernabeu after moving to Spain in a then-record £80 million deal from Manchester United, cementing his legacy as one of football’s greatest players.
World Cup Exit

Real Madrid revealed on Wednesday that free agent Cristiano Ronaldo has been training there while visiting the Spanish capital while still dealing with Portugal’s shocking World Cup exit.
Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo came to Qatar with a clear goal: to prove that he could still impact his country’s team. However, he played in Portugal’s 1-0 quarterfinal loss to Morocco as a second-half substitute to complete the tournament. He has played for four European teams: Sporting CP, Juventus, Manchester United, and Real Madrid. He has dominated European football with 949 games played, 701 goals, and 223 assists.
After spending nine years at Real Madrid and leaving Manchester United, Ronaldo, 37, is now a free agent. Florentino Perez, the club’s president, and Ronaldo remain close friends.
Nevertheless, despite working out at Real’s training facility in Valdebebas, the former Galacticos star is apart from manager Carlo Ancelotti and the majority of the first-team squad as he pursues a personal fitness regimen.
With their relationship still strong after nine fantastic years together for Los Blancos from 2009 to 2018, Real are reportedly more than happy to accommodate the La Liga legend. While deciding what to do next, he was allowed to train at his old club, where his son Cristiano Jr. joined him.
According to Ronaldo’s interview with Morgan, a transfer seems unlikely because Ancelotti is unwilling to risk jeopardizing any potential relationships within the team.
Piers Morgan Interview
In an interview with media personality Piers Morgan, Ronaldo made several jabs at Manchester United, criticizing the manager Erik ten Hag and senior executives. In his remarks, Ronaldo implied that the club’s owners, the Glazer family were only interested in the revenue Manchester United generated. Later, Manchester United revealed they had reached a mutual decision to end Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract midway through the current campaign.
In addition to winning league championships in Spain, England, and Italy, Ronaldo has won five UEFA Champions League titles. Marca claims he has decided to sign with Al-Nassr and will begin playing for the Saudi Arabian team on January 1.

If the agreement is approved, Ronaldo, 37, will earn â200 million per season, making him the highest-paid athlete in the world. At the World Cup’s group stage, he vehemently denied accepting the Saudi Arabian team’s offer. He appears to be headed for the Saudi Pro League, where former Olympique Lyonnais manager Rudi Garcia might serve as his coach.
His relationship with his agent, Jorge Mendes, seems to be on the ropes too.
According to reports, his nearly two-decade relationship with Mendes is beginning to sour because the player and agent disagree on where he should play next.
If the Portuguese star wants to stay in Europe, his financial demands are a disadvantage.
