Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken out about his future after Al-Nassr and revealed his plans which could go against his mother’s wishes as he approaches his 39th birthday.
The legendary striker turns 39 in three weeks and his mother Dolores Aveiro had already revealed her dreams for her son in 2022, saying: I already told him: “My son, before I die, I want to see you play for Sporting again.” It didn’t happen this year, but maybe it will next year.”
Out of the question
However, Ronaldo insisted he had no plans to return to Portugal during his career, calling the idea “meaningless”, and claimed he was fully engaged with Al-Nassr, where he is “happy”. “ There is no point in creating expectations, because I have already said that I want to stay in Al-Nassr this year and next year“Ronaldo told Record. “ I feel happy in Saudi Arabia. They treat me well. The league has huge potential and they continue to grow, contrary to what many people think. »
“ Coming back to play in the Portuguese championship makes no sense. I will turn 39 in a few days, and I will play this remaining season and another year at Al-Nassr, which is what I want the most. And when I’m 40, as my friend José Semedo says jokingly, we’ll see what happens. If I play until 40, that will be a fantastic goal at that level. Afterwards, if all goes well, 41, 42… we don’t know. But the possibility of playing in Portugal is out of the question.
