An Unexpected Signal from Vallecas

During a recent radio interview, Rayo Vallecano president Raúl Martín Presa surprised fans by openly stating his desire to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to Spain. With the Portuguese star rumored to be on the verge of leaving Al-Nassr, Presa declared: “If he's available, I’ll go to Arabia and carry him back in my arms.”

Though the statement had a humorous tone, it revealed a genuine ambition to continue raising the club’s profile. After securing safety in LaLiga, Rayo Vallecano managed to qualify for the UEFA Conference League, fueling higher hopes among the leadership.

Rayo Vallecano joins a list of clubs rumored to be eyeing Ronaldo, including Sporting CP, several MLS teams, and even sides in the Liga MX. However, Martín Presa’s declaration has placed Vallecas on the international radar, sparking excitement among supporters.

For now, Cristiano Ronaldo’s next move remains uncertain, but the open invitation from Spain adds a new chapter to the transfer speculation. Meanwhile, the Madrid-based club keeps alive the dream of landing one of the most iconic players in football history.
