The Cristiano Ronaldo departed Riyadh late at night on his £61 million private jet, heading to Madrid with his family. His sudden move has sparked global attention as the Iran-Israel war continues to create instability in parts of the Middle East.

Ronaldo, who plays for Al Nassr, had been living in Riyadh while competing for the league title. However, rising tensions linked to the Iran-Israel war have led many foreign nationals to reconsider their stay in the region.

Recent drone and missile incidents have increased anxiety among residents and expatriates. Reports indicate that security alerts were issued after attacks targeted key locations.

As the Iran-Israel war enters a more dangerous phase, governments have advised citizens to stay cautious.

Flight tracking data showed Ronaldo’s jet leaving around 8pm and landing in Madrid after nearly seven hours. His departure comes as other foreign families also explore exit options due to the Iran-Israel war.
