Cristiano Ronaldo Wants To Retire At Real Madrid At Age 41

According to Marca, Cristiano Ronaldo has every intention of retiring at Real Madrid at the age of 41. While this seems like a rather unrealistic proposition, it affirms his repeated desire to commit at least the next few years of his career to Los Blancos.

Here are Ronaldo’s exact comments on the matter:

I'm at the best club in the world and I want to retire here, at 41.

I want to retire at Real Madrid because it's the best club in the world. My objective is to extend my contract and stay at the club I love.

I want to keep playing at this level and I’ll work hard to achieve it, just like I do every year. I hope I can win more titles. I’m proud of the European Cup and the Euros, I cried both times.

I’ve always wanted to win something with Portugal and now I’ve managed it.

Ronaldo is probably exaggerating his desire to stay at Madrid to make a point, as these comments come only weeks after rumored talks that he will renew his contract with Real Madrid. This could be a possible hint that CR7 is looking to put pen to paper sooner rather than later, which is something that should please a large portion of the fan base.
