Real Madrid fans ask president Florentino Pérez to sign Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United, some Real Madrid fans think he should come back to the Bernabéu.

Update:

Real Madrid’s second day in Los Angeles featured the stellar presence of Florentino Pérez as one of the main attractions. The Spanish club’s president appeared at the UCLA facilities to watch the team train and unleashed mad scenes as around hundred or so Madrid fans outside the gates of the Wallis Anneberg Stadium were desperate to see him. Many of them asked him for another Champions League (“Let’s go for the 15th!”) but one of the other requests caught the attention of many. Lots of the Real Madrid fans were asking for... the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Madrid.

Florentino was keen to be alongside the fans and patiently signed autographs for 15 minutes under the Los Angeles sun. “Presi, blessings, please bring Cristiano back!” one fan demanded as he held a Liga 35 shirt in front of the head of the club. “Make sure he doesn’t go to Atletico!”, he implored. Florentino did not respond but that did not stop more Real Madrid fans who kept insisting in signing Cristiano Ronaldo again.
