"Cristiano has always left the door open to return to Madrid"

What if Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Madrid? The possibility was raised not long ago and was later denied. But it is still a possibility for Jose Fontes. He is a compatriot of the Juventus star and knows him well. He contemplated his return on 'talkSPORT'.

"He left many, many friends there and has always left the door open. I know he loves Real Madrid, that's for sure. It's clear that it's one of the biggest clubs in the world, if not the biggest," said the defender, who currently plays for Lille.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he came back to Madrid," he said after his analysis. The 35-year-old is still a top performer in Serie A. He is one of the best players in the league, and he's constantly putting himself on the map with every performance.

But what would his return mean for Real Madrid? On the sporting front, a voracious striker who would not need time to adapt and would guarantee, a priori, goals. In the economic aspect, if the management plays its cards well, there could be a brutal benefit.

He left the capital for Italy for 117 million euros. Currently, its market value is 51. If the whites could reach an agreement for a similar figure, Madrid would have Cristiano back and more than 50 million in his pocket.

One of the two aspects necessary to achieve this seems to have been achieved. As Jose Fonte said, the player would not see it bad. What remains is that the 'Vecchia Signora' is willing to sell him. For now, he has a contract until 2022.
