BREAKING! Ronaldo answers the big question — is he retiring from Portugal?
Cristiano Ronaldo is not ready to close the Portugal chapter.
Details: According to renowned insider Fabrizio Romano, Cristiano Ronaldo has decided not to retire from international football. The 41-year-old forward remains available for Portugal and can return to the national team starting with the November international break.
The decision brings major clarity after several turbulent days surrounding the Portugal captain. Ronaldo recently left the national-team camp amid tension over his role under head coach Jorge Jesus, creating widespread speculation that his legendary international career might be approaching its end.
However, Romano's latest information indicates that Ronaldo has made the opposite choice. He remains available for selection, meaning Jorge Jesus will be able to include the Al Nassr striker in his squad when Portugal reconvenes in November.
It is worth noting that Ronaldo remains the most-capped player and leading goalscorer in men's international football. According to the latest DailySports figures, the Portuguese legend has scored 146 goals in 234 appearances for his national team.
Reminder: The door is open! Jesus promises Ronaldo a call-up if he wants to return
