Real Madrid invite Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr for friendly match at Santiago Bernabeu

Real Madrid wants to inaugurate their new stadium by hosting Al-Nassr
Real Madrid fans might be in for a once-in-a-lifetime reunion with their all-time leading scorer. Cristiano Ronaldo might be playing in front of thousands of supporters at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium once more if reports about him are to be believed.
Later in the year, Los Blancos will reveal their remodelled home stadium. Although the stadium was supposed to be unveiled last year, things have moved more slowly than anticipated. The team has reportedly invited Al Nassr to play the Merengues in a club welcoming as part of their desire to offer their supporters a spectacular display on the day of the unveiling.
Cristiano’s team had already been connected to a friendly matchup versus Real Madrid. According to reports, the Spanish Federation is considering allowing Al Nassr to compete in a mini-tournament against teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid in Spain.
Whether Al Nassr accepts the offer to bring Cristiano back to his former haunts would be interesting to watch.
Reports state that Los Blancos are eager to host Al Nassr in Spain for a friendly match. Later this year, Madrid plans to open the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, and they think Cristiano Ronaldo and company will be the ideal opponents for the venue’s inaugural match.
