Real Madrid Interested in Bringing Cristiano Ronaldo Back as Karim Benzema’s Assistant

Cristiano Ronaldo on the way out after a disappointing first six months at Al-Nassr is a possibility. And unlike last winter, Real Madrid is interested in him to come and assist Karim Benzema.

The adventure in Saudi Arabia is not going so well for Cristiano Ronaldo, who certainly enjoys a golden contract, but does not necessarily fit in well in a championship which frustrates him enormously. On top of that, despite having one of the strongest squads in the Kingdom and big ambitions, Al-Nassr is preparing for an empty season, having been eliminated from all the Cups, and having suffered an almost fatal drop in speed in the Saudi Pro. League. Still under contract for a year, the Portuguese is asking questions, he who knows that he also has the possibility in his contract to return to Europe when he sees fit during the next transfer window. The idea of ​​being loaned to Newcastle, which also belongs to Saudi Arabia, has always been mentioned, without going much further than that for the moment.

A double for Benzema, Ancelotti confirms

But the Spanish press evokes another possibility, which will surprise more than one. Florentino Pérez, who took a long time to digest the departure of CR7 when Real Madrid was on top of the world, needs a center forward next season. Carlo Ancelotti confirmed again recently that Karim Benzema needed to breathe and that the search for a number 9 was essential. ” For the future project, we have to sign a number nine, because Karim Benzema is of a certain age. But until now, when he’s in this condition, we don’t think about that. It’s true that he had ups and downs but it’s also true that Rodrygo, Vinicius and Asensio have progressed very well. The problem of the past two years has not been the attack “Said the Italian coach, who knows that the Frenchman himself asked for a player to help him and prevent him from playing too much and getting injured next season.

Florentino Pérez ready to crack for Cristiano Ronaldo?

According to Mundo Deportivo and Defensa Central, the idea of ​​bringing Cristiano Ronaldo back makes sense to Florentino Pérez. The latter knows that the Portuguese could make big financial sacrifices for a last freelance in the club where he won everything, especially if it allows him to complete his incredible record. If ever the legendary number 7 of the Casa Blanca were to confirm his desire for a change of scenery after only a few months in the Gulf, Real Madrid could well move, even if this solution had been politely dismissed last January, when the Portuguese was looking for a new club. The duo Cristiano Ronaldo – Karim Benzema would then be reformed, but this time with a CR7 as the Frenchman’s lieutenant, the real boss of the merengue team in recent years.

For its part, the Spanish daily El Nacional confirms contacts between the Portuguese striker and Real Madrid, but not for a position as a player. Florentino Pérez would like to make him the ambassador of the club in the Spanish capital, and thus allow him to live in a city he appreciates and which he misses. In any case, it would still be a slap in the face for CR7, who still sees himself capable of giving Real Madrid a few helping hands next season.
