Rudi Garcia, the head coach of Saudi Arabian football club, Al Nassr has revealed that football icon, Cristiano Ronaldo could return to Europe before he officially hangs the boots.
The Portuguese football icon will turn 38 in February.
Ronaldo will be 40 years old at the end of his current deal; former Real Madrid and Juventus star left Man Utd by mutual consent in November.

The Portugal captain terminated his contract with Manchester United earlier this season before making a big-money move to the Saudi Pro League on a two-year deal.
However, Rudi Garcia has suggested the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will play on beyond the end of his current contract, when he will be 40 years old.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is a positive addition, as he helps to disperse defenders,” Rudi Garcia said. “He is one of the best players in the world. He will not finish his career at Al Nassr, he will return to Europe.”

Ronaldo is yet to score for his new club, failing to hit the net on his league debut against Al Ettifaq or in Al Nassr’s Saudi Super Cup exit to Al Ittihad.
Ronaldo won three Premier League crowns, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Champions League and Club World Cup with United. He then went on to claim two La Liga titles, two Spanish Cups, four Champions League titles and three Club World Cups with Real Madrid before lifting two Serie A titles and a Copa Italia trophy in three years at Juventus.
