Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner, Georgina Rodriguez, revealed that the Portuguese forward never considered joining Real Madrid‘s fierce rivals Atletico Madrid. Ronaldo’s future was uncertain both in the summer of 2022 and after he departed from Manchester United later in the year.
In the summer, Ronaldo was linked with several clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid’s local rivals Atletico Madrid. Los Rojiblancos were reportedly interested in landing the former Manchester United star, but the move didn’t come to fruition. On the other hand, Georgina Rodriguez recently stated that joining Atletico was never an option for the 38-year-old. “That option has never been in his mind,” Rodriguez told El Hormiguero.
Following reports of Atletico Madrid’s alleged interest in Cristiano, fans unfurled a banner reading “CR7 not welcome” during a friendly game against Burgo de Osma. Ronaldo responded to the banner with a series of laughing emojis on his Instagram account. Meanwhile, the Union Internacional de Penas del Atletico de Madrid issued a statement declaring Ronaldo to be “the antithesis of our values.”

Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez on living in Saudi Arabia
Cristiano Ronaldo eventually joined Al-Nassr as a free agent after an unceremonious end to his second Manchester United spell. He has since scored nine goals and has provided two assists in eight appearances for the Saudi Arabian club.
Speaking about the experience of living in Riyadh, Georgina Rodriguez said: “It is a wonderful country. It is very safe, and very familiar and they take great care of the women and their children. The people are very thoughtful and affectionate. A friend of mine did not have water in a hotel and decided to go to a booth. A man gave it to her paid. They are very thoughtful and generous people.”
Ronaldo and his girlfriend have lived in Riyadh for three months. The Portuguese has a two-and-a-half-year contract at the Saudi Arabian club, worth $85 million per annum.
