Ronaldo's exit marks a bitter end to his second stint with the Premier League club.
The Portugal captain had earlier revealed that he felt "betrayed" in an interview to The Sun. In the interview, criticising Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, Ronaldo said, "Yes, I feel betrayed. Some people don't want me here not only this year, but last year too."
Ronaldo started his first stint with the club as a teenager, before returning to it as a 37-year-old, in 2021.
