Fabrizio Romano says Cristiano Ronaldo has not left Saudi Arabia
Romano addressed the speculation directly on social media.
“Reports on international media about Cristiano Ronaldo, who left Saudi Arabia with his family, are wide of the mark,” he wrote.
“It’s fake news as Cristiano is now doing treatment at Al Nassr training ground after issues in the last game.
“Cristiano has not left Saudi Arabia to return to Madrid.”
The clarification ends suggestions that the Portugal international departed the country during regional tensions. Instead, Ronaldo is continuing his recovery with Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo’s focus now turns to his fitness. The 41-year-old was substituted during Al-Nassr’s 3-1 Saudi Pro League victory over Al-Feyha after showing signs of a muscle issue.
He left the pitch in the 80th minute and was later seen on the bench with an ice pack on the back of his knee.
It followed a similar early exit against Al-Najma earlier in the week, meaning he has not completed the full match in consecutive appearances.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, any injury involving Ronaldo will draw attention. There has been no official confirmation regarding the severity of the issue.
