Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother has opened up regarding her son’s future. The former Manchester United man has been making headlines the past few months over reports linking him with a move out of the Santiago Bernabeu. Some media reports have linked him with a move to Paris to join French giants Paris Saint-Germain, while others suggest that he could be on his way back to Old Trafford.
However, his mother has come up with a different version of the story that would excite many Madridistas. According to the superstar’s mother, Dolores Aveiro, her son will end his career with the Spanish giants.
ESPN quotes her mother as saying:
"Cristiano is happy here, he would like to finish his career at [Real Madrid]
"Ronaldo is a person who always wants more. He is like his mother. He has a strong personality, he is very proud and he always demands more. This is his worst defect.’’
The importance of the Portuguese star to Los Blancos squad was evident last Tuesday when the Spanish club failed to cruise past Manchester City in the first semi-final of the UEFA Champions League. The 31-year-old, who is the top goal scorer in the UCL this season with 16 goals, sat out of the match due to a muscle injury, and could also miss the second leg.
CR7 is well-remembered for putting up a solo performance in the second leg of the UCL quarter-final clash against Wolfsburg at the Santiago Bernabeu earlier this month. Following the 2-0 loss in the first leg played in Germany, the Spanish club needed nothing less than three goals to proceed to the next round, and Ronaldo provided exactly that to the amazement of the fans.
The speedy winger is also in the race for the golden boot award in La Liga, having netted 31 times this season, three behind top scorer Luis Suarez.
Earlier this year, there were reports suggesting that Zinadine Zidane was looking to create a new squad for the 2016/17 season by selling Ronaldo and a host of other superstars. However, following his sudden resurgence in the league and dominance in the Champions League, the chances of Real Madrid selling the on-demand goal-poacher have reduced drastically.
