Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent, Jorges Mendes, has insisted that the forward will end his playing career at Real Madrid.
The Portugal captain has signed a deal which expires in June 2018, but in constantly linked with a return to Manchester United.
Mendes ruled out such possibility and suggested the La Liga giants retire his No 7 shirt when he decides to hang up his boots.
“I got to know him when he was 15 years old, from then until now we’ve spoken together on most days,” he told Globo Esporte. “When I’m in Madrid we always meet up. Our relationship is more like a friendship.
“I believe that Cristiano will finish his career at Real Madrid. He’s happy at the club and is still keen to achieve more success in Madrid.
“Will the club retire his shirt number when he finishes at Madrid? With every respect to the likes of Raul and Di Stefano, no player can compare to Cristiano Ronaldo.
“He’s the best player in history and I’d suggest the best sportsperson of all-time – we’ll never see the likes of Cristiano again. It will be completely impossible.”
