Cristiano Ronaldo's Agent Jorge Mendes Says Star Will Retire After Juventus Stay

Cristiano Ronaldo will retire after seeing out the three-year contract he's signed at Juventus following his £100 million move from Real Madrid, according to his agent Jorge Mendes.

Mendes has overseen Ronaldo's star-studded move through Lisbon, Manchester and Madrid, and the Portuguese told Sport (h/t MailOnline's Robert Summerscales) the tenure in Turin will be his client's last:

"I'm very happy for Cristiano. Juventus will be his last club, and I'm glad he made this decision. With this team he'll close out his marvellous career.

"I thank (Juventus president) Andrea Agnelli in particular for his determination and his willingness to negotiate with Real Madrid.
