Ex–Portugal defender, Jose Fonte has come out to reveal where he wants Cristiano Ronaldo to end his career. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Cristiano Ronaldo‘s return to Sporting Lisbon would be the ultimate dream for football fans in Portugal because he would elevate the league and bring in more investment.
Fonte, however, added that the final decision would be all up to the player himself in the nearest future.
His words, “Make no mistake, for Portugal for Sporting and for all football fans in Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo’s return would be the ultimate dream. He would elevate the league, bring in more money, bring in more investment, unfortunately, it’s not up to us.
We would love to have him here. It’s up to him. But who knows? Only he can answer that question. But for us here in Portugal, it would be an absolute dream to have someone like him return to Sporting and to Portugal. What a great story it would be.”
WOW.
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro GOIH ComM is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for and captains both Saudi Pro League club, Al Nassr and the Portugal national team.
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on 5 February 1985 in the São Pedro parish of Funchal, the capital of the Portuguese island of Madeira, and grew up in the nearby parish of Santo António.

Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a world record transfer fee at the time of £80 million (€94 million). His contract, which ran until 2015, was worth €11 million per year and contained a €1 billion buy-out clause.
