Former Real Madrid striker Fernando Morientes has called on Cristiano Ronaldo to consider rejoining Sporting CP, encouraging the Portuguese star to wrap up his illustrious career at the club where it all began.

Ronaldo, who is currently with Saudi side Al-Nassr, is nearing the end of his contract, which is set to expire next month.

At 40, questions continue to swirl about his next move, especially since he has yet to agree on an extension with the Riyadh-based team.

Speculation has intensified in recent weeks, with reports suggesting that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner may be open to parting ways with Al-Nassr in search of a new challenge.

Among the potential options reportedly being considered are clubs in Brazil, as well as a possible return to Sporting CP, where Ronaldo began his professional career before his move to Manchester United in 2003.

Speaking to about Ronaldo, Morientes told CasinoHawks (via GOAL), “I think when a player of that age joins the Saudi Pro League, it’s to finish his professional footballing career and begin retirement.

“I don’t know if he has any special motivation to wear a shirt; for example, Sporting Lisbon’s was where he started. Obviously, Real Madrid’s [return] is almost impossible now.

“I like to see him where I see him, and I would like him to retire wherever he wants to. I really like those players who start out with one team and end up retiring there.
