Cristiano Ronaldo wants to retire at Real Madrid

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo says that he wants to spend the rest of his professional career at the Bernabeu.

Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that 'his dream' is to retire at Real Madrid as he prepares to play for another "five or six years".

The Portuguese international has always hinted at a return to Manchester United, where he spent six years before making the move to Spain in 2009.

However, after being awarded the Golden Boot trophy for the fourth time on Tuesday, the 30-year-old has claimed that he only sees himself at Real Madrid.

"I want to win more. I still feel good, I'm young. I'm 30 and I want to play for five or six years, and in those years I want to do things right to try and maintain the level of recent seasons," Ronaldo told Marca.

"I know it is getting more difficult but in my head I think it's possible. I want to win and I'm at the best club in the world. Obviously I have a contract until I'm 33 and as I've said many times my dream is to finish here at Madrid because I feel good, I feel useful, and I want to continue.

"At the moment I don't feel any different from when I was 25. A lot of people say that after 30 you start to decline, but I don't agree with that idea, because if you take care, train well and do the right thing, you don't get old overnight."

Since making the move to Spain, Ronaldo has scored 323 goals in 309 appearances for Real Madrid, in addition to winning one La Liga title, the Champions League and two Copa del Reys.
