We told Cristiano Ronaldo that a resounding return to Real Madrid was “impossible”, but the Portuguese goat could return to Sporting.

The future of the fivefold Ballon d'Or has been the subject of intense speculation, and it is not the first time in its remarkable career. It would seem that the timeless 40-year-old striker is ready to break his ties with Al-Nassr.

Ronaldo has been working on a recorded Saudi pro league contract since 2023. The major titles have been difficult to drop out during his stay in Riyadh, and the Portuguese continues to go to the free players' market.

The future of CR7 is the subject of intense speculation

Several scenarios have been mentioned for Ronaldo. He could go back where it all started for him in Lisbon, thus closing a breathtaking sporting story, and it is unlikely that one of his former clubs – where he remains the top scorer of all time – is interested in a transfer.

Former Merengues striker, Fernando Morientes, told Casinohawks the future near CR7: “As a footballer, we, supporters of Real Madrid, have lived the best years of Cristiano to Bernabéu. Its impact on modern football was incredible.

Morientes is expressed

“With age, not only him, but everyone, expectations and ambitions change and you have to review your standards downwards. I think that when a player of this age joins the Saudi Pro League, it is to finish his professional career and start his retirement. ”

“I don't know if he has a special motivation to wear a jersey; For example, it was that of Sporting Lisbon that he started. Obviously, that of Real Madrid is almost impossible now. »»

“I like to see him where I see him, and I would like him to retire wherever he wishes. I really appreciate the players who start in a team and end up retiring. I don't know if Cristiano would have this motivation to do so at Sporting. »»

Ronaldo left Sporting for Manchester United in 2003, taking his first steps towards fame. He then spent nine memorable years in Santiago Bernabéu between 2009 and 2018, scoring 450 goals for Real Madrid and contributing to two Liga titles and four Champions Leagues.
