According to SIC, a Portuguese media outlet, Pedro Proença, president of the Portuguese Football Federation, received a phone call from the Prime Minister, who specifically requested to speak with Jorge Jesus.

Ronaldo announced on social media that he had decided to withdraw from Portugal's national team training camp. This decision came after head coach Jorge Jesus held a press conference and Ronaldo spoke with Pedro Proença, president of the Portuguese Football Federation.

On Wednesday, Portuguese Prime Minister Luís Montenegro spoke with national team coach Jorge Jesus; on the same day, Ronaldo announced his withdrawal from the training camp.

SIC reported that Pedro Proença, president of the Portuguese Football Federation, received a phone call from the Prime Minister, who specifically requested to speak with Jorge Jesus.

On Wednesday, Ronaldo announced on social media that he had decided to withdraw from Portugal's national team training camp — immediately after head coach Jorge Jesus held a press conference and following his own conversation with Pedro Proença, president of the Portuguese Football Federation.

"When the time comes, I will tell all of Portugal the real reason why I am leaving the national team. I have always given everything for this team. Now, I only wish to pray for Portugal and each of my teammates to succeed, without exception."

The previous week, the Portuguese striker started against Wales in Lisbon, where the team won 1-0, and he played 67 minutes in Jorge Jesus's debut as national team coach. Three days later, the captain did not play against Norway in Oslo, with Portugal winning 2-1, and he left immediately after the final whistle — apparently unhappy after being left on the bench during the warm-up and not greeting Portuguese supporters who were with his teammates.

Since then, reports of tension between Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus have continued to escalate, particularly after the coach's recent public comments. Jorge Jesus acknowledged the captain's discontent and, citing his role as captain, admitted he may have made a tactical error; however, he did not promise to play Ronaldo in Thursday's match or announce Gonçalo Ramos as the starter beforehand.

The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) confirmed the striker's withdrawal from the training camp, stating that preparations are proceeding as planned, with the team currently focused on the away match against Denmark and the home match on Sunday against Norwegia in Porto.
