Sporting has announced its intentions with Cristiano Ronaldo

The president of Sports From Portugal, Frederico Varandas, assured today that “there is nothing firm” about Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to his first club, and that these are only “novels”. In an interview with the Portuguese channel RTP3, the president of the ‘lion’ thus denied the rumors that, since the summer, refer to the return of the Portuguese star to the team where he was formed.

“From the beginning of the season, my coach (Rúben Amorim) was killed, I think that in all the press conferences, and, in fact, it was the rumors, the novels that were created, because in fact, until now, there has never been a strict nothing,” he said.

Varandas also emphasized that “out of respect for Cristiano Ronaldo, out of respect for Manchester United who have a contract with the player and, above all, out of respect for” the Portuguese National Team, he does not intend to “contribute to the noise. . It’s a done deal.” .

Cristiano is one of the greatest prides of Sporting’s academy, and the club recently named its sports center after the current United player. “It is a source of pride for all the ‘sportinguistas’ that we have produced the best player of all time,” said Verdiblanco’s top manager. Frederico Varandas also said that “it is important, above all, to preserve the historical and unique legacy that Cristiano will inevitably leave behind in world sport.”

Amidst a difficult season at Old Trafford, Cristiano, 37, has been targeted throughout the summer as a possible reinforcement for the ‘lions’, where he made his professional football debut. “Everyone at Sporting dreams of his return, but we don’t have the money to pay his salary,” Amorim said then.

The question was raised again on Sunday: “I’ve been asked that question a thousand times. Ronaldo is a Manchester United player. Everyone at Sporting loves him,” said the Verdiblanco coach.
