Jorge Mendes has revealed that Juventus attacker Cristiano Ronaldo won't return to his native Portugal to play for recently crowned league champions Sporting Lisbon. Mendes is the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo and according to him, the Portuguese national team captain won't be joining Sporting Lisbon.

Ronaldo came through the ranks at Sporting Lisbon beforehe made his professional debut at the club. He moved to Manchester United from the club in the summer of 2003.

Mendes spoke to the Daily Record about the possibility of his client signing for Sporting Lisbon this summer. He said that Cristiano Ronaldo is proud of Sporting Lisbon and their achievement of winning the league title in the Portuguese top flight ahead of rivals Benfica and FC Porto before adding that the career path of the 36-year-old do not go through Portugal.

The three-year union between Juventus and Cristiano Ronaldo could end this summer with both parties seemingly suffering from the union.

According to popular media portal Goal, Cristiano Ronaldo is unhappy at Juventus and that the club could cut costs in the summer by letting him go with one year left on the four-year deal penned by the Portuguese national team skipper when he signed for the club in 2018.

Ronaldo earns €30m (£26m) on a yearly basis at Juventus and the Italian Serie A holders are looking to get his salary off their wage bill as the financial effects of Covid-19 continue to bite harder.

Cristiano Ronaldo is closing in on his first Golden Boot Award in the Italian Serie A after hemaintained his four-goal lead over RomeluLukaku by netting the opening goal in the win over Napoli in a rescheduled week three game in midweek.

The Juventus talisman took his tally to 25 goals in the league with his opener in the 2-1 win over Napoli at home on Wednesday night. His goal set the Old Lady on the way to three valuable points in the race to qualify for Champions League football next season.

Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Italian Serie A champions Juventus beyond this summer according to Pavel Nedved.

Ex-Juventus winger Nedved is the Vice President at Juventus and he has given his opinion on the rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a transfer to another club in the summer via his interview with DAZN. The Portuguese national team talisman has been linked with a return to his former clubs, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the best players of his generation but the Portuguese player was unable to hit the heights expected during the Champions League last 16 tie between his Juventus side and FC Porto of Portugal.

Ronaldo was expected to lead the Juventus' assault against their Portuguese opponents in the quest to seal a place in the final eight of the Champions League this season but he failed in this regard as Juventus crashed out of the competition at the round of 16 stage for the second season running.

Italian champions Juventus have been eliminated from this season's Champions League after they failed to beat Portuguese champions FC Porto over two legs.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the talisman for Juventus and he was largely ineffective as the Old Lady crashed out the Champions League at the round of 16 stage on the away goals rule for the second season in a row.

Italian tactician Maurizio Sarri was the man in charge last season when Juventus fell to French giants Lyon at the same stage on the away goals rule. Lyon had beaten Juventus 1-0 at home in the first leg before a 2-1 win for Juventus in the second leg ensured that Lyon moved into the quarterfinals on the away goals rule at the expense of the Old Lady.

Juventus attacker Cristiano Ronaldo has taken the lead once again in the Golden Boot race in the Italian Serie A after his brace in the last game, a 3-0 win at home to bottom team Crotone on Monday night.

Cristiano Ronaldo was able to respond to the challenge from major rival RomeluLukaku, who had taken the lead with his strike in the Milan Derby at the weekend. Cristiano Ronaldo and RomeluLukaku were tied on 16 goals apiece ahead of the weekend's set of games in the Italian Serie A.

Cristiano Ronaldo has broken yet another record after managing to get 758 goals in his career. The striker scored in the 4-1 victory over Udinese during the weekend. The Portuguese was able to come up with a brace in either side of half-time break.

As a result of these rules, Ronaldo has overtaken Pele in the all-time goalscoring charts. It was only a few weeks ago that the Brazil icon was overtaken by Lionel Messi. Now, he has been pushed down to the third spot after Ronaldo’s brace. It is still incredible that Ronaldo continues to break records at the age of 35.

Football fans around the world have been involved in the debate on who's the better player between Juventus attacker Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona skipper Lionel Messi for the better part of the last two decades and the debate to determine who's the better player won't end anytime soon.

As long as the two players are still actively playing football though it must be pointed out that the two superstars are in the last years of their respective football careers.

A lot of major personalities from other sports have been drawn into the aforementioned debate and legendary Pakistan pace bowlerShoaibAkhtar is the latest personality to be dragged into the debate.

Brazilian football icon Edson Araantes Do Nascimento, also known as Pele, is regarded by many as the greatest football player ever and Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is not far from him especially after he broke his record for the most career goals.

Pele had held the record of 757 career goals for almost five decades before Portuguese national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo smashed the record at the weekend during the league win over Udinese.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus ended last year on a poor note following the 3-0 home defeat at the hands of struggling Fiorentina.
