According to various flight tracking websites, in the early hours of March 2, a private plane from Riyadh landed in Madrid, with an arrival time of 1:32 am. The flight has been linked on social networks and tracking platforms with Cristiano Ronaldo, although there is no official confirmation of his presence on board.
The curious detail is that this would not be just any commercial flight, but a luxury private jet that is supposedly part of the footballer’s own fleet. According to aeronautical records and multiple media outlets that have detailed the lives of celebrities with planes, Ronaldo owns a high-end jet (identified as a Bombardier Global Express XRS customized with the initials ‘CR7’) valued at tens of millions of euros and designed precisely to cover long journeys between Europe and the Middle East with total autonomy and comfort.
This long-range aircraft, with capacity for up to 19 people and sufficient range to cross continents without stopping, fits the type of flight tracked in the early hours of the morning.
No confirmation on the reason for the flight
So far, it is still not known whether only Ronaldo, a relative or even his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, were on the flight for personal or work reasons. There is also no confirmation as to whether it was a one-off trip or whether it has to do with a wider decision.
Some analysts suggest that the context of growing tension in the Middle East may have been a factor in the decision to leave Riyadh, where Ronaldo currently plays, although this cause-and-effect relationship is unconfirmed and remains pure speculation.
