A strange request from Ronaldo's mother before her death .. And the player replies: "We'll see!"

The mother of the Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo, asked her son to play again in the Sporting Lisbon shirt, which he joined at the age of 12 in 1997, and continued with him until 2003 when he moved to Manchester United, which he returned to this summer.

Cristiano's mother, Dolores Aveiro, said during an interview with a program broadcast by the Sporting Lisbon website, that when she asks her son the matter, he responds by saying: "We'll see...".

She added that if Cristiano did not return to the "Lions" club, her grandson "Cristianinho" would do so.

She stated during the interview that her grandson "at his current age, plays better than Ronaldo," before adding: "When Cristiano was the same age as his son, he did not have a coach, but Ronaldo today is his son's coach."

And she continued: "Cristiano's son says to his father: When we go to live in Lisbon, I want to play in Sporting."

She confirmed that "seeing them wearing the Sporting shirt was a dream for me before my death."

Regarding the reports linking Cristiano, 36, to Manchester City, during the last Mercato, she said that her son told her: "Mom, do not worry about what is published, because I will go to Manchester (United)."

"It's great to see an entire stadium with 75,000 people chanting his name," she added.
