Cristiano Ronaldo has not left Saudi Arabia. Contrary to a rumor widely circulated by several international media outlets, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner did not board a late-night flight to Madrid with his family.
According to The Sun, the Portuguese forward allegedly took his private jet amid heightened security concerns in the Middle East, as regional tensions raised fears of escalation. The tabloid claimed his aircraft completed a roughly seven-hour flight to Spain, fueling speculation about a sudden departure.
Rumors Denied Amid Security Concerns
The information was quickly denied. Transfer specialist journalist Fabrizio Romano stated that the reports were fake news. According to him, Cristiano Ronaldo remains in Saudi Arabia and is currently undergoing treatment at Al-Nassr’s training center after experiencing physical issues during his last match.
A source close to the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiyah also confirmed that the Portuguese star has not left the country. At this stage, there is no indication of a return to Madrid.
