For nine years, Cristiano Ronaldo was the star of Real Madrid. He won every possible trophy with the club and scored 450 goals in 438 matches. Thus, he is the most prolific player in Los Blancos' long history.
However, in the summer of 2018, he swapped Real for Juventus because he felt President Florentino Perez did not treat him properly.
Attempts to replace Cristiano Ronaldo cost Real Madrid a sum of £206 million. Eden Hazard cost £78 million, Vinicius (£31 million), Rodrygo (£31 million), Mariano Diaz (£15 million), Luka Jović (£41 million), and Brahim Diaz (£12 million) - these six players were meant to replace the Portuguese football star in goal-scoring for Los Blancos.
Ronaldo visited Real Madrid
After years, the atmosphere has changed, and Cristiano Ronaldo is still held in high regard in Madrid. Taking advantage of the international break, the Portuguese player appeared at Real Madrid's training centre.
In the videos that have appeared online, we can see Ronaldo talking with coach Carlo Ancelotti and club legend Roberto Carlos.
Michael Owen believes that Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al-Nassr, could take charge of the Portuguese national team or manage clubs like Manchester United or Real Madrid after his playing career.
Although Ronaldo does not plan a coaching career for now, Owen sees potential in him to take up coaching after finishing his football career.
The newspaper "The Sun" emphasizes that the discussion about Ronaldo's potential future as a coach is gaining momentum, especially now as his football career slowly comes to an end.
