A simple post by Cristiano Ronaldo on his social networks has been enough to ignite speculation. With several former team-mates sharing the image, Real Madrid fans are dreaming of the Portuguese icon’s return to the Bernabeu.
This Tuesday, as Real Madrid battled Atalanta in the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo took social media by storm. The Madrid legend posted an enigmatic image on his social networks, quickly relayed by iconic figures such as Marcelo, Pepe and Rio Ferdinand. Without any explicit context, the post sparked excitement among Madrid fans, who were quick to imagine a return of the legendary No7 to Real Madrid.

Despite his contract with Al Nassr, which runs until June 2025, some fans have already begun to dream of an unlikely comeback. Among the most frequent comments were: ‘30 goals next season, that’s for sure’. Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid’s all-time top scorer with 451 goals, remains a key figure for the fans. Even if his return seems unlikely, the mere mention of his name provokes a wave of emotion.
However, it is likely that this mysterious post was simply a promotion for his YouTube channel or another personal project. But that hasn’t stopped fans from setting social networks alight, even going so far as to envisage a far-fetched scenario: CR7 returning to help Los Merengues win another Champions League or Club World Cup.
Today is the day to tell you that this A is AVA.

Madrid’s ambiguous dream with Cristiano Ronaldo
Currently signed by Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to perform well in the Saudi league. But his contract, which expires in 2025, will allow him to leave freely. This status is fuelling further speculation, with some seeing it as an opportunity for a final chapter at Madrid.
Real Madrid may be going through a period of renewal with rising stars such as Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Jr, but fans are still hoping for one last crack at their legend. For them, a Ronaldo comeback would be the perfect symbol of the club’s eternal greatness.

But that is to misunderstand Florentino Perez. The Real Madrid president no longer signs his ex-players. Once you leave the Bernabeu, the door remains closed. Despite the numerous injuries, particularly in defence, Florentino Perez recently refused categorically to accept the return of Sergio Ramos, despite the fact that he is available on the open market. Before the former captain, other legends such as Marcelo and Casemiro were rejected for a return to Madrid.
