The Athletic reports that Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo is exploring the possibility of returning to Sporting Lisbon.
Ronaldo is exploring his options for a summer departure from Manchester United.
The 37-year-old wants to leave Manchester United after returning from Juventus.
Nevertheless, Ronaldo’s desire to play in the Champions League this season remains a driving force.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner wants to cement his spot as the competition’s top scorer.
Ronaldo is currently out in front on 140 goals, which is 15 more than Lionel Messi.
However, Ronaldo is three goals behind Messi on group-stage goals, which is another motivating factor.
It is claimed that his agent, Jorge Mendes, has held talks with Sporting as he seeks to find exit routes from Old Trafford.
