PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi has declared his admiration for Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner continues to perform at the highest level at the age of 35.
Having made a name for himself at Manchester United, and then set all kinds of records at Real Madrid, he boasts 53 goals in 75 games for the Turin side.
Ronaldo has previously been liked with a mega-money move to Ligue 1 champions PSG and owner Al-Khelaifi’s latest comments will certainly please the Portuguese.
“Year after year, he shows a unique determination, and extraordinary strength of character,” Al-Khelaifi told France Football.
