Cristiano Ronaldo set to receive medal of honor, Madrid legend tells Messi to avoid Barcelona return, Neymar to Newcastle a possibility

Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly set to be awarded the Medal of Honor of the City by the Lisbon Chamber. According to reports in Portugal media, Mayor Carlos Moedas praised the former Madrid star and said that the 38-year-old is an idol for youngsters in Portugal.

Ronaldo was reportedly selected after a secret ballot vote took place last month.

“This is a tribute to a boy who became a man in Lisbon and who, in addition to his identity of the place where he was born, became a great Lisboner, in the sense of the passion he has for the city,” Record website quoted the Mayor as saying while announcing the decision.

Earlier, Ronaldo’s mother was also quoted as saying that she wanted her son to return to Sporting Lisbon, where it all began for Ronaldo as a teenager. “Ronaldo has to come back here. If it were my choice, he would already be here.

He likes to watch Sporting games. I’ve already told him ‘Son, before I die, I want to see you return to Sporting’. He says ‘Let’s see’ But if it can’t be him, then Cristianinho” she had said on an ESPN podcast.
