Cristiano Ronaldo has been enjoying his time in Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese star penned a massive $500 million plus deal with Al Nassr last year that saw him move away from European soccer. While Cristiano following the move to the Middle East may have closed the door to Europe, his mother has a never-say-never attitude. During a recent interview, Cristiano’s mother Dolores Aveiro talked about her son’s future and a return to his former club.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been back at his best following the move to Al Nassr. The club captain has been in exceptional form for his new side emerging as their top goal scorer.

Dolores Aveiro comments on a potential Cristiano return

Cristiano Ronaldo started his soccer career with Portuguese club Sporting CP. The player made his debut for the club in August 2022 and has never looked back since. While the player has been enjoying his time at Al Nassr, some of his fans have been expectant of the player returning to Sporting CP to finish his career.

However, while Ronaldo has closed the doors to a potential return to Europe, his mother Dolores Aveiro still has hope surrounding her son’s future. Dolores, in an interview, talked about how her son could return to the club, albeit in a different role.

“He’s coming to live here when he finishes his career. No more playing. Age passes everyone by. You never know if he won’t buy Sporting or become president. I’d love that.” (compiled by Novagente | translated using DeepL)
