Ronaldo to stay on at Madrid till 2018

Sep 16, 2013 |

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo said he could end his career with the Spanish giants after signing a new contract with Madrid on Sunday that will run until 2018.

The Portuguese international has scored a remarkable 203 goals in 203 games since joining for a then world record 94 million euros from Manchester United back in 2009. And he is hoping to continue that sensational form for the next five years.
“It is a priviledge for me to continue with this club. It is just like my first day here,” he said.
“I am going to continue with the same spirit of sacrifice and give everything for the shirt.
“It is a special day for me, I want to thank the president for making this happen and the fans who continue to support me.
“Maybe I will stay here until the end of my career. This club is the biggest in the world and I am extremely happy.”
With Ronaldo’s previous deal set to expire in 2015, there had been strong speculation linking the 28-year-old with a return to Old Trafford, but he said United are very much in the past and that a verbal agreement had been in place for a new contract since the end of last season.
“I will be honest. I was in Manchester for six years and they gave me many things that I will never forget, but United is now in the past.”
“Now I am at home, my family is here and I am happy. I respect all the other clubs but my objectives are here and to play until possibly the end of my career.”
