Christiano Ronaldo Claims He Will Still Be Going Strong at 41 Years

Cristiano Ronaldo has boldly claimed he can keep playing until he’s 41-years-old. Real Madrid raised eyebrows this week by handing the 31-year-old forward a five-year contract reportedly worth around £365,000. Considering his age it was seen by some as a risky move by the Champions League holders. But not Ronaldo. He reckons he’ll be going strong for at least twice the length of his new contract. ‘What I most want is to continue enjoying the years I have left to play. I still have 10 years,’ the Portugal international boldly claimed.

Despite his advancing years Ronaldo is still banging in the goals with a return of 12 from 14 matches across club and country this season. He continued: ‘I’m going to be here for another five years, but let it be known this will not be my last contract. ‘I have said many times that I carry this club in my heart, it is part of me and it is a special time in my life.

‘Of course I would like to end my career at this club, this is my penultimate contract, I want to be here for many years to come. ‘I want to continue re-writing history at this club.’
