Top 5 clubs where Cristiano Ronaldo could end his career
Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved almost everything in his career. Besides lifting 14 domestic trophies during his stays with Manchester United and Real Madrid, he has also won the Champions League an impressive four times.
In 2016, he even led Portugal's national team to an unlikely victory at the European Championships. Something, that even Portuguese legends Eusebio and Luis Figo couldn't do at the top of their game.
On top of that, the list of individual accolades seems endless. It is quite telling, that the Portuguese has featured in every UEFA Team of the Year since 2007, while adding five Ballon d'Ors in the process.
With Ronaldo turning 33 in February, his time at the pinnacle of the sport is slowly nearing its end. Therefore, it is time to take a look at which five destinations seem the most likely for the striker to close out his illustrious career.
#1 Real Madrid
Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo's current employer could also be his last. The Portuguese's current contract expires in 2021 and, should he see it out, 36 would be an age where he could consider retiring.
Despite constantly adapting his game, most notably by transforming into a striker at Real Madrid after making a name for himself as a winger, Ronaldo's game has always revolved around his blistering pace and physical prowess, attributes that decline with age.
However, the forward is constantly linked with several clubs during almost every transfer window. Along with ongoing contract issues, Ronaldo is reported to be unhappy at the Spanish giants as of late and could be looking for a new club sooner rather than later.
