After returning to Manchester United from Juventus last summer, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly looking to leave the club. The return of a club legend, which had been expected to bring success and honors, instead brought about one of United's poorest recent seasons and a sixth-place finish, which prevented them from making the 2022–23 Champions League season. 

The lack of Champions League football, which remains Ronaldo's priority, has remained the Portuguese star's reason for wishing to leave the club in which he burst onto the landscape from 2003-2009. It was after this original spell at United that he joined Real Madrid, going on to win 4 Champions League trophies with Los Blancos, heralding their second generation of "Galacticos".

Marca reported that Madrid president Florentino Perez and Ronaldo have had meetings this summer, but they were unfruitful. Jose Felix Diaz, a reliable Real Madrid correspondent for the agency, wrote "As MARCA has learned, Real Madrid's roadmap will not change in the slightest, and that does not include the return of the Manchester United player. The leaders of the white club are going to wait for events and after checking if the players they do not count on are sold, they would look at the market again, but that would not include Cristiano Ronaldo."
