CRISTIANO RONALDO is expected to return to Real Madrid after being “cheated” through his contract with Al Nassr, claims Rivaldo.
The striker signed a two-and-a-half-year contract worth an estimated £173 million a year when he joined the Saudi side in January.
But Rivaldo believes Ronaldo may be dissatisfied in the Middle East, as he had to adapt to another lifestyle.
The Brazilian legend says Ronaldo would return to Real Madrid, where he scored 450 goals in 438 games between 2009 and 2018.
Rivaldo told Mundo Deportivo: “I perceive that rarely players are fooled by the big contract they sign in Saudi Arabia, but life is more closed and football is not as simple as expected.
“So you could be going through a stage of sadness and even reflection. If the money you get compensates for the not-so-happy life you live now.
“It would be for him and for football to see Cristiano Ronaldo return to Real Madrid to finish his career.
“Of course, the fans have to realise that they can’t ask him the same as when he was 25 or 26, but he can help the club in more conquests. “
Ronaldo has scored 12 goals in 12 appearances for Al Nassr, but is believed to need a move as his friend Georgina Rodriguez is not satisfied and wishes to return to Madrid.
The Whites are also interested in bringing CR7 back to the club, in an ambassadorial role.
He has also been linked with Newcastle, but manager Eddie Howe has played down the announcement of a successful signing like Ronaldo or Neymar.
Howe said, “A lot of the names are accurate. We want to recruit wisely. “
“We need to notice them before they explode on the global stage. We have to go underneath, young people and expand them. I know the address. “
