Cristiano Ronaldo is doing what he can to qualify Juve in C1. – Filippo Rubin / AP / SIPA
“For the moment, his career plans do not go through Portugal”. A sentence that slams like a whiplash on the crazy hopes of thousands of Sporting Portugal supporters, in heaven since the club’s first league title, after 19 years of uninterrupted reign of Porto and Benfica.
It was this good Jorge Mendes who took care of bringing everyone back to earth about the future of Cristiano Ronaldo in a short interview granted to the newspaper Record, while the mother of the prodigy had launched into thoughtless promises on her balcony during the celebrations of the supporters of Sporting: “I will speak to him so that he returns. Next season, he will play at the Alvalade stadium ”.
A return to basics attractive on paper (CR7 began his career at Sporting in 2002) but undoubtedly impossible to achieve on the financial plan. Not to mention that Cristiano, who stacks the goals in Serie A, undoubtedly sees himself a few more seasons at the very high level before returning to be given the pill in the country.
