Former Portugal star Paulo Futre says he believes Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Real Madrid for one last big pay day.
Much speculation surrounds the 30-year-old all-time leading scorer of Los Blancos, with the striker linked to former employers Manchester United. Should he decide to call it a day at the Santiago Bernabeu, the forward would have no shortage of lucrative offers from the likes of PSG in France and a host of clubs in the MLS.
Ronaldo insists he is happy in the Spanish capital and would like to see out his career at the 10-time Champions League winners but Futre thinks otherwise.
In quotes published by Marca, he stated: “I believe that the past few months have been a bit strange for Cristiano. It has been disheartening times for him. He has not been getting the affection he needs, although things are slightly better now following the arrival of Zinedine Zidane.”
And he continued: “The big question is whether he will stay with Madrid or leave for PSG or Manchester United and I believe he will leave. I think a lot of things will have to change in order to convince him to stay. It is the last opportunity for him and Jorge Mendes to negotiate a big contract somewhere in Europe.
