Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr, has taken a new step following the recent crisis that erupted between him and Jorge Jesus, head coach of the Portugal national team, over the latter's tactical decisions.
​Ronaldo, 41, had left the Portugal national team camp after a dispute with Jesus following his placement on the bench during the match against Norway in the second round of the UEFA Nations League group stage.
​Recent hours witnessed attempts to contain the dispute between the national team captain and his manager, particularly after Jorge Jesus posted a message on his official Instagram account in a move interpreted as an effort to defuse tensions and clear the path toward resolving the crisis.
​However, Ronaldo appears to have taken a different path, as Portuguese media reports revealed his decision to return to the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Sunday to rejoin training with his club, Al-Nassr.
​Portuguese newspaper Record noted that Ronaldo's travel to Riyadh coincides with the timing of Portugal's match against Norway in the fourth round of the UEFA Nations League, reinforcing the likelihood that he will not return to the national team camp during the current international break.
​According to the report, Ronaldo's return to Riyadh at this juncture serves as a new indicator of the growing complexity surrounding a quick settlement with Jorge Jesus, despite the efforts made over the past few hours to resolve the dispute between the two sides.
​While Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet announced his retirement from international football with Portugal, the latest developments have reignited speculation regarding his future with the national team, amidst ongoing ambiguity surrounding whether he will continue to represent his country in the coming period.
