Cristiano Ronaldo receives interesting offer to return to ex-club amid controversy over deportation from Saudi Arabia – Reports
Al-Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly received an offer to rejoin Sporting CP following a recent controversy that led to people calling for his deportation.
The Portugal icon made an obscene gesture towards Al-Hilal fans after being taunted by them throughout the league game on Tuesday (April 18). They booed and jeered him at the King Fahd International Stadium as Al-Nassr slumped to a 2-0 defeat.
Fans were also heard chanting Lionel Messi’s name to provoke the five-time Ballon d’Or. While exiting the pitch, Ronaldo was allegedly seen grabbing his genitals as a mark of disrespect for the home fans.
Since then, people have called for him to be deported, while a prominent lawyer, Nouf bin Ahmed, has even vowed to submit a petition to the authorities.
Cristiano Ronaldo, as per El Nacional, is unhappy at Al-Nassr and would like a change of scenery. Sporting CP seem to be aware of that and have submitted an offer for him to return to the club whose training facility is named after him.
Sporting was where Ronaldo made his mark in professional football. He joined their youth academy in 1997 and made 31 appearances for them across competitions before leaving for Manchester United in August 2003.
