Last Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo was honored at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, a ceremony that honors the best players on the planet. The Portuguese received the Fans' Favorite Player award. He attended the ceremony, and took the opportunity to provide some answers about his future, as he will celebrate his 39th birthday on February 5.
For CR7 there is no suspense: the Portuguese will complete his contract with Al-Nassr. “There is no point in raising expectations, because I have already said that I want to stay in Al Nassr this year and next year. I feel good in Saudi Arabia, I am treated well and the tournament has huge potential. He explained to the Record newspaper that he was motivated by his salary of 248 million euros per year.
