Ronaldo to leave for Sporting?

Juventus Turin and Portugal national team forward Cristiano Ronaldo may return to Sporting.

Cristiano Ronaldo began his professional career in football in the capital Sporting in 2002. Spanish television channel Cuatro said that after Real Madrid refused to bring back the Portuguese, the footballer decided on a further club career and will return to the alma mater.

This is evidenced by the facts of the purchase of a luxury penthouse in the capital of Portugal worth more than seven million euros, as well as the recent words of the footballer's mother. In response to the fans of Sporting, she promised to convince her son to return,

“I am flying to Turin, I will talk to him soon. Next season he will play here at Jose Alvalade. I will persuade him, he will come back,” the player's mother answered cheerfully.

Plus, there is a good chance that Juventus will not qualify for the Champions League next season. Sporting won the championship title and with peace of mind will go directly to the group stage of the tournament. Therefore, for Ronaldo, there really is a reason to think.

The only problem can be the football player's contract with Old Signora, which expires in the summer of 2022. We don’t really believe that Juventus will release the Portuguese free of charge, since not so long ago they put a price tag of 50 million euros. For Lisbon team, this is very serious money to give for a legend, which, although it will repulse the costs, but after a while. Moreover, this is an extra burden on the payroll. Even if Cristiano decides to cut his salary, it will hit Sporting's budget.

Of course, fans and management would love to see Ronaldo in Sporting jersey again. But if you take a clear look at the situation, you understand that there are no strong prerequisites for this. It’s easier to believe that the forward will go to David Beckham's conditional Inter Miami, or somewhere else in the MLS. We think he has ambitions to enter the American market with his product line and this will be a good help for the development of the brand, which will continue to feed him after the end of his career.
