The five-time Ballon d’Or winner left Santiago Bernabeu during the summer of 2018, but it could be that he retraces his steps to Spain at some stage

Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Real Madrid at some stage would come as no surprise, says Portugal team-mate Jose Fonte, as the Juventus superstar has “always left the door open”.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner took the decision to depart Santiago Bernabeu during the summer of 2018.

After nine record-breaking years in the Spanish capital, Ronaldo opted to take on another new challenge in his remarkable career.

Having enjoyed considerable success with Manchester United and Real, Italy was the next land for an all-time great to conquer.
