In a press conference, Sporting manager Ruben Amorim spoke about rumors of a potential return of Cristiano Ronaldo to his training squad.
The situation of Cristiano Ronaldo remains unclear. If the five-time Ballon d’Or has definitively resumed collective training with the entire Manchester United professional workforce after a few days of sanction, the rumors of a potential departure are still current. In recent months, many media have hinted at the possibility of a return to origins for the Portuguese, with a possible transfer to his training club, Sporting CP.
It is impossible, according to Ruben Amorim
And while, following a return to Manchester United in the summer of 2021, the idea of resurfacing in Lisbon may be the preferred option for many of the 37-year-old striker’s fans, the economic reality looks quite different. The Sporting coach was questioned at a press conference on Tuesday, on the eve of the Champions League match between his team and Tottenham Ruben Amorim rejected this idea. “He’s a Manchester United player. Everyone here would want him back, but we don’t have the money to pay him his salary.”, He explained. The young coach, who during his playing career in particular joined the Mancunian in the national team, indicated that he did not want to talk about the current relationships of Cristiano Ronaldo with his coach Erik ten Hag.
Things are clear: unless there is a major financial effort on the part of the player, a return to society that has seen him reach the highest levels at just 17 is not on the agenda.
