Portugal FA's desire for Cristiano Ronaldo to return to the national team

L'Équipe reports a new development in Cristiano Ronaldo's situation with the Portugal national team, noting that the Portuguese Football Federation considers the presence of the Al Nassr star to be of great importance from a marketing and financial perspective.

According to the report, the Portuguese Federation needs Ronaldo for reasons that go beyond the sporting side, given his association with the national team and his significant commercial value. The newspaper reported that the federation "needs him to pay its bills."

L'Équipe has reported that Ronaldo's departure from the national team camp has prompted officials at the federation to look for a way to allow his return, even if it is just to hold a farewell that befits his career with the national team while also preserving the image of the Portugal national team.

The Portuguese Football Federation, according to reports from "L'Équipe", sees Ronaldo's presence once again as potentially very important not only from a sporting perspective but also for preserving the marketing value linked to the national team and one of its most prominent stars in history.

Cristiano Ronaldo has announced in a lengthy official statement his intention to continue playing internationally, and he is awaiting a severe penalty from the Portuguese Football Federation after leaving the national team's camp during the international break due to a dispute with coach Jorge Jesus.
