Ronaldo’s Training at Real Madrid Facilities

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Europe from the Middle East after Portugal was eliminated from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

According to Marca, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Madrid and trained at Real Madrid's facilities in Valdebebas.

Moreover, Ronaldo requested permission to access the Real Madrid training facility from Florentino Pérez personally.

His request was readily granted by the Spanish club, demonstrating the positive relationship that still exists between the two parties.

Cristiano Ronaldo Is Currently A Free Agent

Manchester United said in a brief statement that the decision, which was reached by mutual consent, was taken a week after Ronaldo delivered an explosive TV interview about his displeasure with the club. 

"The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spells at Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his family well for the future," the statement said.

Ronaldo discussed his feelings about being betrayed by United in an interview with Piers Morgan for Talk TV that was broadcast just before the World Cup began.

The player showed his lack of respect for Manchester United's coach, Erik ten Hag.

"Following conversations with Manchester United, we have mutually agreed to end our contract early," said Ronaldo in a statement.
