Cristiano Ronaldo’s Mum Makes Clear Her One Wish to Her Son Before She Passes Away

• Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother Dolores Aveiro has predicted her son will end up playing alongside her grandson at Sporting Lisbon
• She made the declaration at a time when Ronaldo faces an uncertain future at Manchester United
• The 37-year-old wanted to leave Old Trafford in the summer for a club playing in the Champions League

Dolores Aveiro, Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother, says it would be a dream come true if her son ended up sharing a football pitch with her grandson Cristianinho in the near future.

Cristianinho is currently only 12, but is already showing loads of promise as a rising football star.

He joined the Manchester United academy when Ronaldo made the sensational switch back to England from Juventus in 2021, and has been growing as a football player since.

While speaking to Portuguese magazine Nova Gente, Dolores revealed she already had a conversation with Ronaldo about a potential return to Sporting CP, a club where the former Real Madrid man began his rise to the top.

“I already told him: ‘Son, before I die I want to see you playing for Sporting again. It didn’t happen this year but perhaps it will next year, but if it’s not him it will be Cristianinho. At his age, he plays better than his father. When he was 12, Cristiano didn’t have a trainer but today he’s his son’s teacher." She explained.

Dolores also insists that Cristiano Jnr is a guaranteed future signee of Sporting Lisbon.

“He’s already said, ‘Dad when we go to live in Lisbon I want to play for Sporting. Seeing the two of them playing together at the club would be my dream.”

Following failed efforts to leave Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to stay at Old Trafford, at least until the winter transfer window opens up.

He remains an integral figure of Erik ten Hag’s squad at Manchester United, but has been relegated to the bench in recent weeks.

In the 2022/23 campaign, Ronaldo has only managed one goal across all competitions so far, which came from the penalty spot.
