His CV boasts of stints at world-class clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid (becoming their top scorer of all time), where he won 4 UCL titles amongst many league titles before leaving for the Old Lady.

But Ronaldo has does have a contract with Juventus that runs till 2022 and has admitted that he is enjoying his time in Turin.
"I'm in the best club in Italy, I'm playing alongside the best players. I'm happy we won trophies last year - and this year I hope to win as well. As an individual I am happy. I went to Juventus to score goals and do my best and I am very happy,” Ronaldo told Sky Sports.
The former Manchester United star also managed to hit 100 games for Juventus and matched Gabriel Batistuta (1994-95) and Fabio Quagliarella (2018-19) record for scoring in 11 consecutive Serie A matches. That saw Ronaldo acknowledge the fact that his perseverance has paved the way for his success.
"One thousand games means that dedication, hard work and talent pays off. It is not easy to do 1000 games at 35 years old. I'm so happy. It's nice but I hope to play hundreds of games more,” he added.
