Cristiano Ronaldo and Sporting Lisbon could meet again more than two decades after that debut that marked the beginning of a legendary career. The all-time top scorer in European football is seriously considering the option of returning to his childhood club, a decision with sentimental but also strategic implications. The Portuguese star's goal is to maintain himself at the highest level of demand with an eye on the 2026 World Cup, which would be his last major tournament with the national team.

Currently at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where he continues to score goals as if time stood still for him, Cristiano keeps his ambition intact. The possibility of returning to European football entices him, and Sporting emerges as the ideal destination. In addition to the emotional connection, the Lisbon team offers him the opportunity to compete in continental competitions and conclude his career where it all began.
The context at the Lisbon club could also facilitate his return. Viktor Gyökeres, their main striker this season, is on the radar of numerous giants on the continent, and his departure in the summer is highly likely. If the Swedish player's exit materializes, Sporting would need a prominent figure to lead the attack and keep their aspirations high. In that scenario, Cristiano's name gains strength as the natural replacement.
At 40 years old, the Madeira native continues to demonstrate that his physicality and goal-scoring instincts are above average. In Lisbon, they would welcome an operation that not only strengthens the squad but also raises the club's media impact. The return of the prodigal son is not only a dream of the fans but also an increasingly realistic option in the offices.
