Getty WHAT RONALDO SAID
When asked about the possibility of returning to Real Madrid, by Spanish journalist Eduardo Aguirre, Ronaldo said: "Maybe after ending my career, something can happen."
Reflecting on his time in Spain, the veteran striker described it as the peak of his professional journey.
“My period at Real Madrid is the happiest for me in terms of football,” he admitted, emphasizing the special place the club holds in his heart.
Getty WHAT NEXT FOR RONALDO?
Despite nearing the twilight of his career, Ronaldo remains highly ambitious and the former Manchester United superstar has previously stated that retirement is not on his immediate agenda, with a personal goal of reaching 1,000 career goals before calling time on his playing days on his mind.
His relentless pursuit of records continued in Al-Nassr’s recent 3-1 victory over Al-Fateh, where he found the back of the net yet again, bringing his career tally to 920 goals. He is set to be in action once more on Thursday when his side takes on Al-Raed in the Saudi Pro League.
