Khaberni - Dolores Aveiro, mother of Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo, expressed her deep desire to see her son wearing his mother club's jersey, Sporting Lisbon, once again before retiring from football.
In statements according to the website TCR, and circulated by the media, Aveiro confirmed that she explicitly conveyed this desire to "the Don", indicating that his return to the club he grew up in represents a major personal wish for her.
Dolores said in her statement: "I told Cristiano: before I die, I want to see you return to Sporting."
It is noteworthy that Ronaldo began his professional career at the ranks of Sporting Lisbon before his historic move to Manchester United in 2003, and the Portuguese fans still dream of the "prodigal son" finishing his career at the "José Alvalade" stadium.
These statements come at a time when Ronaldo continues to break record after record in the football fields, and while emotional pressure from the family side for a return to Portugal persists, questions remain about the Portuguese club's ability to meet the financial and sporting requirements of Ronaldo's ongoing ambitions.
