Marca has revealed new moves by the Portuguese Football Federation to address the crisis surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo, indicating that a meeting with the national team captain is expected to take place next week in an attempt to calm the situation and repair relations between all parties.


According to the newspaper, the Portuguese Football Federation is seeking to persuade Cristiano Ronaldo to return to the national team and work on resolving the tension that arose during the recent international break, after the player left the national team's camp before the match against Denmark.


These moves come after the escalation of the crisis between Cristiano Ronaldo and coach Jorge Jesus, following the captain's absence in the match against Norway. Ronaldo left the camp after a press conference held by the coach, confirming through a statement that he will reveal "in due time" the reasons that led him to make the decision to leave.


Jesus has attempted to calm the atmosphere, emphasizing that Ronaldo is an "icon" for the Portugal national team. He stated that he will discuss the issue after the upcoming match against Norway.


In the latest developments of the crisis, instructions have emerged within the Portugal camp not to speak about the Ronaldo issue, as revealed by Renato Veiga, who said: "I am very close to Cristiano, and he knows that I have a lot of affection for him, but I was asked not to talk about him."


According to 'Marca', the Portuguese Football Federation aims not only to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to the national team but also to mend relationships among all parties and calm the atmosphere in an effort to resolve the crisis away from further media escalation.


If Cristiano Ronaldo makes a final decision to retire from international football, the newspaper reports that the Portuguese Football Federation wants to organize a farewell match worthy of the captain's status, giving him the opportunity to end his international career in a manner befitting what he has contributed to the national team over the years.


Cristiano Ronaldo's future with Portugal remains open as he has not officially announced his international retirement. His statement after leaving the camp did not include a definitive announcement regarding the end of his career with the national team.
