JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo, who previously denied negotiating with Sporting Lisbon, has reportedly changed course. He is said to be interested in returning to his old club.

Ronaldo is even rumored to have entered into negotiations with Sporting. Apparently, the player sees only the Portuguese club with the largest percentage to give the opportunity to appear in the Champions League next season.

As is known, a number of clubs have given rejection. Starting from Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Real Madrid and most recently Atletico Madrid.

Quoted from Express, Ronaldo actually did not consider Sporting Lisbon. Previously, Ronaldo had confirmed that the issue of him returning to Sporting Lisbon was a fake news.

However, seeing the difficulty of getting a new club to realize the mission of appearing in the Champions League, the former Juventus and Real Madrid player began to change his mind.

It seems that Sporting Lisbon is a more attractive option for Ronaldo than staying at Manchester United.

In addition, Sporting Lisbon actually had an important role in Ronaldo's career development. It was at this club that the star first forged the knowledge of football.

At Sporting Lisbon too, Ronaldo got the opportunity to make his professional debut as a football player. From here also Sir Alex Ferguson finally discovered the talent of Ronaldo who was then 18 years old and brought him to Old Trafford until now transformed into a world-class player.

Besides having an important role in Ronaldo's career development, Sporting Lisbon is currently also able to realize CR7's desire to appear in the Champions League. This point is what sources call an attraction for Ronaldo to start negotiating.
