Ronaldo happily dines with partner Georgina amidst Al-Nassr future speculation
Cristiano Ronaldo appeared relaxed and happy while dining with his partner Georgina Rodriguez, even as rumours swirl about his future with Al-Nassr.
"Ronaldo has hinted at an exit from his current club, what’s next for him? I don't know," he told Betfair.
He continued, "He's not as good as he was obviously. It's impossible to be at that age but he's still going somehow and still scoring goals at that level. I haven't got a clue what's going on with him. He's still playing for Portugal, they won't retire him, he'll have to retire himself.
"Whether he wants to play in the Club World Cup, the World Cup next year... I don't know but it'll be really interesting to see what happens with him and what his next step is. You have to be surprised to see him still doing it at his age. To be playing at 40 at any level is remarkable. To still be playing and scoring for Portugal is remarkable but he's been just that all through his career."
