“Florentino, Sign CR7”: Real Madrid Fans Demand Cristiano Ronaldo’s Return to Santiago Bernabéu
The King may have left the castle, but his loyal subjects are not ready to forget him. That’s the sentiment echoing across the Santiago Bernabéu and Madrid's Valdebebas training ground as Real Madrid fans have reignited their desire to see Cristiano Ronaldo wear the iconic white shirt once again.
A bold banner, draped outside the training complex, sent a direct message to club president Florentino Perez:
“Florentino, sign CR7.”
This passionate plea arrives amid ongoing uncertainties surrounding Ronaldo’s future at Al-Nassr. The 40-year-old Portuguese forward — who has scored 93 goals in 105 appearances in Saudi Arabia — recently posted a cryptic message on social media, stating:
“This chapter is over.”
This ambiguous statement has only fueled speculation that his time at Al-Nassr may be coming to an end.
🏟️ A Legend’s Legacy: Why Madrid Fans Still Want Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is more than a club legend — he’s an eternal symbol of Real Madrid’s golden era. From 2009 to 2018, Ronaldo:
🏆 Won 4 Champions League titles
⚽ Scored 450 goals in 438 appearances
🥇 Claimed 4 Ballon d’Or awards
🏅 Became Madrid’s all-time top scorer
To the fans, CR7 never really left. His departure to Juventus in 2018, shrouded in reports of a breakdown in relationship with Perez, never sat right with many supporters.
And now, with Kylian Mbappé rumored to be joining the squad this summer and Madrid’s youthful team thriving, the request for Ronaldo may not be about competition — it may be about closure, celebration, and gratitude.
🗣️ Opinion: A Farewell or Fantasy?
Realistically, a full return to Madrid’s starting XI at age 40 is unlikely. The club is focused on building a team for the next decade, not revisiting the past. But Ronaldo’s return — even for one final match or honorary season — could bring emotional balance to a story that ended too abruptly.
A symbolic reunion could also benefit both parties:
🎉 Fans get to say goodbye on their terms
👑 Ronaldo reclaims his throne one last time
💰 The club profits from a global media moment
❤️ Football gets a fairytale ending it often denies legends
💬 Final Thought
Florentino Perez may not re-sign CR7 to break scoring records, but maybe it’s time to mend bridges. If anyone deserves a proper Bernabéu farewell, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo — the man who made millions fall in love with Madrid all over again.
Whether it’s a ceremonial return or a short contract, #BringBackCR7 is more than a trending hashtag — it’s a call from the heart of the fans.
