Even though he may talk about quality league and wish for a change and new challenge, Cristiano Ronaldo’s unexpected move to Saudi Arabia was about the money in the first place. However, his next career step could be everything but that!Namely, according to the Portuguese media and the Spanish Fichajes, Cristiano could return for one last dance to where it all began 23 years ago – to Sporting Lisbon!🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Sporting plan to try and re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer from Al-Nassr as they prepare to replace Viktor Gyokeres.Would you like to see Ronaldo back in Portugal? 🇵🇹 pic.twitter.com/fuaEzPDl5t— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) May 10, 2025 Ronaldo’s three seasons with the Saudi Al-Nassr have been subpar, as the Riyadh side won only one (rather irrelevant) trophy, Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023. In the Saudi Pro League, Al-Nassr were vice-champions twice, while this season has been abysmal, as they sit in the terrible fifth spot.On top of everything, they were shockingly eliminated in the AFC Champions League semi-finals by the Japanese Kawasaki, while the season before, they were stopped in the quarter-finals.Hence, parting ways may be the best solution for both the player and the club.Ronaldo is worth 850 billion euros!On the other hand, Sporting are on the verge of clinching the title in Liga Portugal and qualifying for the next edition of the Champions League. The club from the Portuguese capital would undoubtedly love the idea of their “son” coming home – especially if Viktor Gyokeres leaves – while Cristiano could find an ideal place to keep his form up and prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which could be the last tournament in his career.Although he’s 40, Ronaldo netted 33 times in 39 appearances, proving he can still make a significant impact. His eventual return to Lisbon would be a remarkable end to one of the greatest careers football has ever seen and a perfect situation for the legend’s last dance.##NAJAVA_MECA_8923700##
