Cristiano Ronaldo’s private jet leaves Saudi Arabia overnight following a drone attack on the United States embassy in Riyadh, according to reports.
Flight-tracking data showed the Bombardier Global Express completed a nearly 7-hour journey to Madrid.
The reported departure came shortly after an attack targeted the US embassy in Riyadh. The U.S. State Department had earlier recommended that American citizens in several regional countries, including Saudi Arabia, consider leaving while commercial flights remained available.
While the timing drew attention, there has been no official confirmation linking Ronaldo’s travel directly to the security incident.
