A season and a half at Manchester United followed, before he settled in the Saudi league with Al-Nassr in the winter of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;AS&#8221; published a video clip of the Spanish journalist calling on P\u00e9rez to stage a friendly against Al-Nassr before the start of the new season, with Ronaldo taking part, to compete for the fortieth edition of the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u Trophy.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid used to hold the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u Trophy before every season from 1979, but it stopped at the thirty-ninth edition in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Roncero&#8217;s remarks open the door to bringing back both the tournament and Ronaldo to the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u after an eight-year absence. Next season will be the last on the Portuguese star&#8217;s contract with Al-Nassr, which raises the prospect of his retirement.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo remains Real Madrid&#8217;s all-time top scorer with 450 goals, which he racked up over nine years in the Royal club&#8217;s shirt between 2009 and 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom\u00e1s Roncero, the famous Madrid-based journalist at the Spanish newspaper &#8220;AS&#8221;, has called on Real Madrid president Florentino&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[15952,12669,85,82,83,1888],"class_list":["post-60470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-madrid","tag-al-nassr-fc","tag-c-ronaldo","tag-laliga","tag-madrid","tag-real-madrid","tag-saudi-pro-league"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
