If Ronaldo was to joined Sporting next season, he will no doubt add a considerable amount of goals and lead the line for the club which consists of youngsters such as Pedro Goncalves, Tiago Tomas, Nuno Santos as their main attackers.
A RETURN TO HIS FIRST CLUB
Sporting has been one of the primary contributors in the making of the superstar that Cristiano Ronaldo has become in this modern age by giving him his debut in professional football in 2002.

And it was in the match against Manchester United in the Champions League that caught the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson where Ronaldo was the chief destroyer of the Sporting side which beat the English giants 3-1.
AND THE REST AS THEY SAY IS HISTORY!
