CR7 also dismissed rumours that he would return to Sporting Lisbon, the club where he started his career. Despite admitting his love for his former club and his homeland Portugal, Ronaldo said he has no plans to return to play for Sporting. He believes that everything has its own time and limit.
There have been many rumors about Ronaldo reuniting with Sporting, especially as he enters the final stages of his career. His former teammate, Jose Fonte, has also expressed his desire to see CR7 return. However, with this latest statement, it seems that the dreams of Sporting fans have been shattered.
The decision comes just days after Ronaldo’s 40th birthday, which he celebrated with a goal in Al Nassr’s 3-0 win over Al Feiha. Ronaldo previously said in August 2024 that he planned to end his career at Al Nassr.
Ronaldo is currently aiming to score 1,000 career goals. He is still the greatest scorer at the national team level with 135 goals in 217 matches.
Ronaldo’s arrival at Al Nassr in January 2023 is seen as a major milestone, paving the way for a wave of world football stars to enter the Saudi Pro League. The arrival of Ronaldo and other big names has helped raise the profile of the tournament, while also boosting Saudi Arabia’s strategy for sports, tourism and culture. The country has also recently won the right to host the 2034 World Cup.
