Football fans from around the world are eagerly awaiting the new La Liga season to kickstart but the one question on everyone’s mind is – will Cristiano Ronaldo don the Real Madrid jersey again?
The answer to that is known only to one person and that’s Cristiano Ronaldo himself. Having spent nine long years as a faithful Los Blancos warrior, the 33-year-old star has been widely speculated of wanting to move to another club.
