In 10 days, the Champions League will resume with the 32 qualified but without the historic top scorer. Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to manage to leave Manchester United just days before the end of the transfer window. However, he is ready for anything even if it means returning to the fold.
Since the start of the season, Cristiano Ronaldo has been brooding over his frustration at Manchester United. The resumption of the Premier League went badly for the Portuguese and his club. Two defeats to start including a slap in Brentford for the Red Devils. Substitute status and no goals scored for CR7, which participated by far in the success against Liverpool. An unattractive context, especially for a player who went out of his way to leave Manchester this summer. Cristiano Ronaldo is fed up with Mancunian performances and he does not accept missing out on the Champions League this season.
CR7 wants to return to Sporting, where it all started
Top scorer in the biggest of European competitions, he can’t stand his brand being threatened by his old rival, Lionel Messi. But, no big European club asked him this summer for a transfer. There are only a few days left and few options to reverse the situation. One of them sends him to his training club, Sporting Portugal. If CR7 was skeptical at first, his position has changed dramatically.
Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly on the verge of returning to Sporting Lisbon. The deal is 99% done ????????

This is revealed by the Spanish newspaper Marca this Friday. According to the daily, Cristiano Ronaldo now favors a return to the Lions where he started in 2002. His agent Jorge Mendes is working to find a satisfactory financial agreement with the reigning vice-champion of Portugal. Details that would no longer be a mere formality since the first information echoes a “99%” agreement. This would allow him to play in the Champions League, Sporting being present in group D with Frankfurt, Tottenham and … OM. Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to evolve at the Vélodrome stadium but not in the way Marseille supporters dreamed of.
