Conflicting reports have surfaced regarding the location of football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo as geopolitical tensions escalate in the Middle East. The 41-year-old Al Nassr captain, who has called Riyadh home since joining the Saudi Pro League club in 2023, drew widespread attention after his private jet reportedly departed for Madrid late Monday night.
Reports about Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure
Flight tracking data from platforms like Flightradar24 showed the £61 million Bombardier Global Express leaving Riyadh around 8-9pm local time and landing in the Spanish capital early Tuesday after a roughly seven-hour flight over Egypt and the Mediterranean. These reports fueled theories that Ronaldo, partner Georgina Rodriguez, and their five children may have left amid safety fears following Iranian drone strikes.
However, other reports pushed back against claims of a full departure. According to some reports, Ronaldo remains in Saudi Arabia, with no official confirmation he was aboard the jet. Such reports stated that the Portuguese star is still in Riyadh, dealing with an ongoing muscle injury sustained in Al Nassr’s recent 3-1 win over Al Fayha.
