But she has never hidden the fact that she wants him to return to his boyhood club as she even said at a recent interview that she would be happy if Ronaldo plays once again for Sporting ‘before she dies’.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner dumped the Portuguese club back in 2003 and reports suggested he was eyeing a move back to the Portuguese capital this summer.

But somehow, the deal could not sail through before Manchester United completed a blockbuster second signing of their striker.

There is still hope for Dolores to realize her dream even if Ronaldo calls time on his historic career without heading back to Lisbon, Eminentra reports.

Speaking in the same interview she revealed Ronaldo’s son Cristiano Jr one day hopes to play for Sporting too.
