Cristiano Ronaldo drops retirement hint after speaking to Portugal boss Roberto Martinez

Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo is aiming to make another 45 appearances for Portugal before considering international retirement according to manager Roberto Martinez

Cristiano Ronaldo appears to have hinted when he’ll call time on his Portugal career, according to national team boss Roberto Martinez.

The five-time Ballon d’or winner made his debut for his country two decades ago and remains an integral part of Portugal’s set-up, but at 38 years of age many fans and pundits alike are starting to question if the end of the road is near for Ronaldo when it comes to international football.

Those asking such questions will be intruiged by Martinez’s comments during an interview with Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg, where the coach seems to suggest that Ronaldo could call it a day with Portugal after making 250 appearances.
