“When I retire, I will return to live in Madrid.”
Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr. Despite being 38, he's the captain of the Portugul team and scored four goals in two games during the last international break.
He looks set to be a part of their UEFA Euro 2024 squad. However, whether the five-time Ballon d'Or stays on till the 2026 FIFA World Cup is uncertain at the moment, though.
Ronaldo spent nine illustrious seasons in Madrid with Real Madrid. Apart from memories in the Spanish capital from his playing days, the Portuguese has business ventures in the city.
