In a recent interview with Canal 11, Cristiano Ronaldo, who celebrates his birthday today February 5, has explicitly stated that he will not return to his boyhood club, Sporting CP, before retiring from professional football, as per Fabrizio Romano.

Ronaldo, who began his illustrious career at Sporting CP, expressed his affection for the Portuguese club, saying, "I love watching Sporting games, it's my team!" However, he emphasized that a return to Sporting would not make sense at this stage of his career.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner attributed his decision to the concept of timing and limitations in one's career. "My career started in Portugal, and it's not because I don't like Portuguese football or there's no quality," Ronaldo clarified. "I just think everything has a time and a limit, and so I never thought about a Sporting return."

Ronaldo's statement puts to rest speculation about a potential return to Sporting CP, where he rose through the youth ranks before joining Manchester United in 2003. As he celebrates his birthday today, fans and admirers alike can appreciate his candor and reflection on his remarkable career journey.
