Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Real Madrid: does the sensational plan make sense?

The working document that Cristiano Ronaldo currently has in Turin is dated 2022.

If the Portuguese stayed until then, another year, he would have played for Juventus for four years. At the moment, it does not seem clear if this can happen.

Because after the early elimination in the Champions League, the club and the players seem to be at least thinking about whether the joint project, winning the big pot, can still be implemented.

And because the analysis is already being done in depth behind the scenes and plans are being made for the future, the content of the deliberations naturally also penetrates the public.

A possibility that seemed unthinkable a few weeks ago is now within the realm of possibility: the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.

Los Blancos, the club with which the five-time world footballer ruled Europe for nearly a decade before moving to Italy, wants to bring back the prodigal son. And CR7 should also be anything but reluctant.

Ronaldo reports on Instagram

Even if he posted a militant pledge of allegiance to his current club as the first public reaction to speculation via Instagram.

“More important than how many setbacks you have in life is how quickly you come back. True champions never stop! Our focus is on Serie A and the Italian Cup final,” he wrote there.

On Sunday night – after his hat-trick against Cagliari, with which he beat the record for goals of the great Pelé – he continued in the same medium again. “My story is not over yet. There is still a lot to win with Juventus and Portugal.”

But while Ronaldo concentrates on sports matters, the sponsors should take the next step a long time ago. According to “AS”, consultant Jorge Mendes is already in talks with Real Madrid.

Signs from the Juventus executive floor had shown him alongside Ronaldo that the old woman could befriend a breakup a year before the contract ended.

Even if sports director Fabio Paratici publicly takes a hugging course. “It is a privilege to have him in our team. He represents the future of Juventus,” he said.

Cristiano could be a bargain

However, the performance curves of the aging world star and the young and changing team are not in harmony. On the other hand, the matter naturally also has a financial component.

Juve would like to save the net salary of 31 million euros and on top of it recover part of the 118 million euros invested three years ago.

As reported by “Corriere dello Sport”, the Italians are demanding at least 29 million euros for the 36-year-old. When you consider how far Juventus has come from the major league title in Ronaldo’s last three seasons, these considerations make perfect sense.

Ramos and Zidane allow deep penetrations

And real? Well, two recent quotes are worth a thousand words.

“Cris and Real Madrid lost when they sold it,” Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos said in a “Twitch” conversation with broadcaster Ibai Llanos. “I,” Ramos continued, “would not have let him go because Cris is one of the best players in the world and with him we would have gotten a little closer to success, without a doubt.”

Cris, thus Cristiano Ronaldo, remains a sanctuary in Madrid after four. If he signaled that he was ready, they would take him back here with a kiss.

“You know what Cristiano means for Real Madrid, what he has done, the affection we all have for him, not just me as a coach. What he has done here is historic and great,” Zinedine Zidane said immediately this Friday after the rumors . emerged for the first time.

But at the moment he is “a Juventus player”. You have to respect that.

This is how you say it in situations like this.

The return would also be logical for Ronaldo

In the case of Madrid, obviously they are of the opinion that Ronaldo could make the club, accustomed to success, return to compete with some of his lifelong companions such as Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric or Casemiro and some young savages.

In particular, the goal danger that Ronaldo had never been able to replace since his departure. Now the superstar could practically become his own successor.

“It seems that Real do not have enough money to sign Kylian Mbappé or Erling Haaland this summer. Oddly enough, Cristiano could be a promising interim solution here,” he estimates La Liga specialist Adrain García from Eurosport in Spain the situation.

From a football and economic point of view it is “good business” for Real Madrid, he thinks.

Garcia sees other positive and folkloric aspects for Ronaldo himself. “At 36, it is perhaps the last chance for Ronaldo to win more individual titles. In Madrid he would inevitably be more relevant and could once again aspire to the Ballon d’Or, which he has not been able to win since 2017.”

It seems there are only winners in any deal. But nothing is dry for long.
