He held discussions with team president Pedro Proenca and coach Jorge Jesus before changing his mind. The player insists he will leave whenever he feels he is no longer adding value to the squad.
Targets for future success
The 41-year-old forward needs 21 more goals to reach his personal milestone of 1,000 career strikes. He also aims to win a third Nations League title with Portugal alongside his individual record. Ronaldo believes he can support the team both on the pitch and through off-field contributions.
