Ronaldo said: “Sporting has a great team, a great trainer and all the conditions to be victorious.
“I cannot hide my emotional links to Sporting. For seven years they were very important in my life and I admire greatly the club and the people.
“I will not close the doors. They have always treated me positively. Sporting was key in my growth in all aspects. They gave me everything to be able to be the player who everyone knows today. Nobody knows the future and who knows if, one day, I will be able to come back to play for Sporting?”
