The Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo plans to continue playing after the 2024 European Championship, as the soccer player has more ambitious plans in this sport that involve his family.
According to the former footballer and Romanian coach Adrian Mutu, who has sparked the debate about the future of the Portuguese forward in football, Cristiano has higher aspirations that link him to his firstborn, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., who is 14 years old.
That is his true motivation. The fact that he wants to play an official match with his son and that is why he does not give up," Mutu told iAM Sport and his statements were quickly picked up by several sports media outlets.
The possibility of that encounter happening at Al Nassr, the team where Cristiano plays and his son is part of the youth categories, seems feasible.
"Well, at Al Nassr it's possible. If I were in another team, I don't know, Real Madrid, it would be more difficult. But to play a role together in a year, I don't think it's impossible," Mutu stated.
Cristiano, who will turn 40 on February 5, 2025, would add a personal achievement to his collection of numerous trophies, both at an individual and collective level, by achieving that goal.
For Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. to reach a professional level, it may take about three more years, so Cristiano should stay at the highest level of excellence in soccer until he is 42 years old, which seems like a challenging task, although not impossible.
Portugal was eliminated by France last July 5 in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals of the Eurocup, Germany 2024. This ending raised questions about the future of an icon of modern football, such as CR7.
